Labyrinth
Labyrinths have been used throughout history for various purposes, including as symbols in many cultures and spiritual practices, as tools for meditation and self-reflection, and as decorative elements in gardens and other public spaces. They are often thought to represent the journey of the individual through life, and the challenges and obstacles that must be overcome in order to reach one's goals.
Additionally, walking a labyrinth can be used as a form of contemplative or meditative practice, helping to clear the mind and promote feelings of peace and well-being.
"A labyrinth is not a maze, it is a journey. A journey to your center,
to your true self, to the place where all is one."

Our Approach
Engaging the community in the design and production of our labyrinths is a key method in our approach to our labyrinth work. This strategy creates a deep sense of appreciation and stewardship for the labyrinths upon their completion.
We work with schools, churches, community centers, universities, retreat centers and other civic spaces to design and produce our one of a kind labyrinths.
Together we can transform an ordinary place into a sacred space using the ancient archetype of the labyrinth.
