What Is a Labyrinth?

A labyrinth is an ancient symbol and spiritual tool that has been used for thousands of years for meditation, prayer, reflection, and personal transformation. Unlike a maze, a labyrinth has a single, purposeful path that winds gently to a centre and then back out again.

Walking a labyrinth can be a quiet opportunity to slow down, clear your mind, pray, reflect on a question or concern, or simply be present in the moment. The winding path invites us to let go of distractions and make space for listening, contemplation, and connection with God.

Labyrinths can also be places of community, welcome, and peace—inviting people of all ages and backgrounds to walk, reflect, and discover their own meaningful experience along the way.
