The Labyrinth is a medieval spiritual tool which is being rediscovered in our time. The Labyrinth is an archetypal symbol which holds the experience of wholeness and unity for all who enter. Walking the Labyrinth is an ancient spiritual act of pilgrimage symbolizing one's walk with God or journey through life. In today's world, we are in need of living spiritual tools which are inclusive, non judgmental, and uplifting.

The WLLC labyrinth is a portable canvas model patterned after the Chartres Cathedral Labyrinth in France. It is 28 feet in diameter with the design painted in red-orange. It is a universal path, one path in and out. The winding circuitous walk is a form of walking meditation or prayer.

Walking the Labyrinth mirrors the three-fold mystical path: the path of purgation, illumination, and union. The first stage, the journey inward, is a releasing and letting go of the details and concerns of life. The mind empties and quiets as one finds a pace. The second stage, reaching and staying in the center, is a time for personal prayer and meditation. This is an opening to receive, to be illumined, inspired by the Divine. The third stage, leaving the center and retracing the path, is a time of union and joining with God, for empowerment and/or healing in worldly relations. This stage provides grounding, guidance, and integration for whatever one has received.
