The Remembering Place LLC is home to
an eleven-circuit labyrinth mowed into native grasses. Walking the uni-cursal path has been a way
for many to unwind, pray, meditate, or simply have a quiet walk in nature. Created in 2001, the Sacred Light Labyrinth has
been walked and enjoyed by many of all ages.
The labyrinth is an ancient tool, found in various
forms throughout the world, used for walking meditation and unwinding from
those things that keep us from paying attention to our steps in life's journey.
Unlike a maze, which is meant to confuse, there is only one path leading to the
center of the labyrinth. The same path is walked to come back out of the
labyrinth. Some walk it alone for
contemplation, celebration, or in search of an answer to an interior question.
Sometimes The
Remembering Place issues an invitation for an open labyrinth walk. People come
and go quietly and a collective experience/rhythm unfolds as people make their
way on the winding path.
Labyrinth retreat events provide opportunities to walk
the labyrinth multiple times for a deeper experience of walking the path,
reflecting, and connecting metaphors with the life journey History and uses of the labyrinth are
presented as well as information on different kinds of labyrinths existing in
our world today.
For Lois and Dan, using the labyrinth on a regular
basis has deepened their understanding of the possibilities for labyrinth
walking as a spiritual tool, self
awareness, and
personal growth. Walking an outdoor
labyrinth throughout the seasons and at different times of day has given them a
deep appreciation for the changing light and the cycles of nature. It is their pleasure to introduce and share
the labyrinth with others.
Dan and Lois Weber received labyrinth facilitators' training
in San Francisco from The Rev. Lauren Artress, creator of Veriditas, The World-Wide Labyrinth Project. Lauren is an Episcopal priest at Grace
Cathedral and author of Walking A Sacred Path: Rediscovering the Labyrinth
as a Spiritual Tool. Please contact
