What is a Labyrinth?

A labyrinth is a sacred pattern that leads an individual on a path to its center and back out again. Although the labyrinth may be new to many people today, its use as a spiritual tool can be traced back to several ancient cultures. The KUUF Kapaun Labyrinth is based on the design in the floor of the nave at Chartres Cathedral in France. It is composed of eleven circuits and is divided into four quadrants. The center of the labyrinth is a rose-shaped area for resting, prayer, or meditation.

Walking the labyrinth is a way of praying with the body that invites the divine presence into an active conversation with the heart and soul. By engaging in this walking meditation, we are fully engaging our minds, bodies, and spirits at the same time.

Labyrinths can be thought of as symbolic forms of pilgrimage; people can walk the path, ascending toward salvation or enlightenment. Many people could not afford to travel to holy sites and lands, so labyrinths and prayer substituted for such travel. Later the religious significance of labyrinths faded, and they served primarily for entertainment, though recently their spiritual aspect has seen a resurgence.
