Labyrinth

A labyrinth is a divine imprint that is found in various forms in all religious traditions around the world. A labyrinth has only one path, so there are no tricks to it and no dead ends. The pathway in is the same as the pathway out. The labyrinth becomes a mirror for where we are in our lives, and a metaphor for our spiritual journey. A walk through the labyrinth touches our sorrows and releases our joys. The labyrinth is used as a contemplative practice: walking its unique path is a form of walking meditation, a “body prayer.”

Holy Trinity’s eleven-circuit paved labyrinth, a replica of the 12th-century Notre Dame de Chartres labyrinth, is centered in the Columbarium garden on Greene Street. The labyrinth is open at all times. Instructions for walking can be found on the covered walkway in front of the labyrinth near Greene Street.

Labyrinth Keepers is an ecumenical group dedicated to providing education and opportunities for people to experience transformation through walking the Labyrinth. The Labyrinth Keepers offer periodic walks and coordinate walks with other Holy Trinity ministries. Contact Vicki Longhofer for more information about how you can become active in the mission of Holy Trinity’s Labyrinth.

There are scheduled walks throughout the year. Those are listed in our calendar and in the Get Engaged brochure.
