Labyrinth
is a means for prayer. Starting on the outside of the
labyrinth, the praying person enters the labyrinth and
prayerfully follows its winding paths to the centre.
In the quiet, spiritual centre there is opportunity
for rest, prayer, and preparation for the journey back
to the world. For many walkers, the Labyrinth is a spiritual
practice - for meditation, healing or insight. Unlike
a maze, there is only one path, leading to the centre
and it is then followed back to the beginning. The labyrinth
is for all ages. Children and youth will benefit from
the experience of "centering." Adults will
find the labyrinth a helpful tool to cultivate a more
prayerful way of being.
The labyrinth of Shaughnessy Heights United Church
was installed in 2003 on the hardwood floor in the church
Gym. Please contact the church office if you are interested
in using the labyrinth.
