What is Labyrinth Walking?
Labyrinth walking involves following a winding path that leads to a center point and then back out again. Unlike a maze, a labyrinth has a single path with no dead ends or wrong turns, symbolizing a journey to your center and back out into the world.

- Wear comfortable clothing and shoes suitable for walking.
- Begin your walk with a clear intention or question in mind.
- Move at your own pace, focusing on each step and breathing deeply.
- Reach the center, pause for reflection, then retrace your steps back out.
