Some corporate parks have installed permanent labyrinths on their grounds. Portable ones are used for training programs, retreats and department meetings. Finger labyrinths can be used individually at a person s desk. Since there is nothing to do but put one foot in front of the other and follow the path, the brain starts to quiet so we can hear our inner voice or truth which is so frequently drowned out with the constant chatter or clutter in our heads. The metaphorical aspects of the labyrinth also provide rich insights for people and organizations.
Labyrinths symbolize our life s journey or the journey of an organization.
As each person walks the labyrinth, it is clear that we are on our own journey having total responsibility for the outcome. No one can walk the path for us or with us. Self-responsibility and empowerment have been popular ideas in business for many years. The labyrinth assists in bringing those ideas home. Labyrinths also provide time for reflection.
