The labyrinth at Mount Saint John is cut into a field in the parking lot side of the Marianist Novitiate building. Follow the mowed path to the gardens, turn right, and you will eventually enter the labyrinth. A labyrinth is different from a maze. Labyrinths are unicursal. They have one well defined path that leads into the center and back out again.
Mazes are multicursal.
They offer a choice of paths, some with many entrances and exits. Mazes challenge the choice-making part of ourselves. Our logic is challenged. Because it is a unicursal path, the labyrinth is a spiritual tool. It invites our intuitive, pattern seeking, symbolic mind to come forth.
