The Lure of the Labyrinth

The history of the labyrinth is as old as humanity. Through the centuries, these peaceful paths have been featured in garden and church designs, symbolizing young love, rebirth, and spiritual pilgrimage. Centers focusing on health care and spirituality incorporate labyrinths as a way to promote healing the body and mind. Inviting meditation and mindfulness, the restful nature of walking these paths can reduce stress and improve health and wellness. The class will begin indoors with a short presentation on the history and uses of labyrinths, and then move outdoors to outline unique patterns suitable for reproducing a personal labyrinth in your own backyard. This course will be held at the Horticulture Center at Bloomfield Farm. Look for the paved road across Northwestern Avenue from the public garden entrance. Park in the lot and follow the signs to the Horticulture Center.
