There are as many reasons for walking the labyrinth as there are people, world views or spiritual traditions.
Labyrinths go back further in time than anyone can trace.
There have been various labyrinth patterns formed by people of many traditions throughout the world. This labyrinth was fashioned after the famous 11-circuit design laid into the floor of the medieval cathedral at Chartres, France . The Earth-Wisdom Labyrinth is not a maze designed to confuse or frustrate. It has a well-defined path that leads into the center and back out again. The intent of the labyrinth is not to engage the thinking mind but rather the intuitive mind.
