The labyrinth is an ancient and universal symbol having different shapes and styles according to the tradition from which they were birthed. It has a single, circuitous pathway that leads from the entrance to the centre, and takes the pilgrim on a journey into the centre of themselves where God awaits to greet them. To walk the labyrinth is to touch God and let God touch us. It is an ancient form of reflective walk for purposes that are significant to the soul and well-being of the spirit. Over the centuries most labyrinths that have been discovered are in connection with churches and monastic locations.
