The Labyrinth Builders

Dating back over 4000 years labyrinths have a long association with spirituality, ritual and sacred dance. The pressures and demands of modern society and our need for deeper meaning in our lives has led to a resurgence in interest in this ancient form.

The labyrinth symbol transcends religion, time and cultures and is a universal 'tool' that can assist the individual to reconnect with their inner self, spirit or God. This is achieved through 'Walking the labyrinth'. There is no one prescribed method to do this though some groups and individuals have developed certain approaches and methods and offer their services as labyrinth 'facilitators' to guide anyone new to the practice.

Many labyrinths incorporate sacred geometry in their design to heighten the energy and walking experience (certain geometric forms and ratios that relate to organic and mineral elements of the physical world are described as possessing sacred geometry).
