Calm and
Transform Your Spirit
No Appointment
Necessary |
The Labyrinth
is a spiritual tool whose ultimate purpose remains what it always has
been - a way to encounter the Holy. It Transcends all religions and
dogmas and outdistances all cultures and ideologies.
Our labyrinth is
patterned after one at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. They are the
11 circuit type like the one built in the Chartres Cathedral in France
during the Middle Ages.
Why walk the
Labyrinth?
To gain mental
and spiritual centering, to calm and transform your spirit. Your walk
to the center may bring healing or lighten your load. It is not a maze.
You cannot get lost. A labyrinth has one way in and one way out.
There is no right or wrong way to walk it.
You will find
the walk to the center of the labyrinth very therapeutic. Walkers find
that it can lower stress and boost creativity. Others claim that it is
a place for answers to prayer and insights. Spend some time in the
center; meditate, listen to the Divine who loves within you.
What you, the
first-time or many-times walker, must make, is your own unique
discovery, whatever it is and it may be different each time you walk it!
No one can tell you for sure what you will find.
Located
outdoors to the south of the church building, the Labyrinth is set apart
in a quiet place. Here is an opportunity for you to let go of the
distractions of life, center yourself and feel the presence of God and
all the while enjoy the silence and beauty of the desert.
Just beyond the
labyrinth is our Palm Oasis. It is a peaceful place to continue your
inward journey.
