Single path, winding journey, centre that waits.
origins
From the Cretan myth of Theseus to medieval cathedral floors, the labyrinth has been walked as a path of initiation and prayer.
meaning
Journey, reflection, transformation. Unlike a maze, the labyrinth has no tricks — only one path inward and back.
today
It speaks of slowing down, trusting the process, and finding clarity through the act of walking.
practice
Draw or walk a labyrinth slowly. With each step ask: what am I releasing, what am I returning to?
endurance
The labyrinth endures because every soul seeks a centre — and a way to find it again and again.
