Labyrinth

Walking Meditations on the Labyrinth

The outdoor labyrinth on the Sophia Peace Center is an exact replica of most famous labyrinth, The Chartres labyrinth near Paris, France.

This was an eleven-circuit design divided into four quadrants. It was often found in Gothic Cathedrals but over time many of these eleven-circuit designs were destroyed or intentionally removed. As a pilgrimage it was a questing, searching journey with the hope of becoming closer to God. In walking the Chartres style labyrinth the walker meanders through each of the four quadrants several times before reaching the goal. An expectancy is created as to when the center will be reached. At the center is a rosette design which has a rich symbolic value including that of enlightenment.

Testimonials

The ministers of my spiritual community go on retreat twice a year and have been doing so for years. We have been to so many retreat centers and found that we always had to compromise an important aspect of our retreat. This was the first retreat that gave us everything we wanted and needed. Plenty of room, fantastic food, inspiring views, and the staff was warm and attentive. They were flexible and accommodating to all of our space and scheduling needs. Our group unanimously agreed to make it our home base for all of our retreats. I also hope to go back by myself for a personal retreat because the surroundings were so naturally meditative and beautiful that I know it would be a fruitful and centering time for me.
