Walking a Sacred Path: Rediscovering the Labyrinth

Walking a Sacred Path reintroduces the ancient Labyrinth, a walking meditation that transcends the limits of still meditation. Walking the Labyrinth has emerged today as a metaphor for the spiritual journey and a powerful tool for transformation. This walking meditation is an archetype, a mystical ritual found in many religious traditions. It quiets the mind and opens the soul, evoking a feeling of wholeness. Lauren Artress has re-created the Labyrinth on canvas, modeling it after the sacred design laid in the floor of Chartres cathedral in the twelfth century. Over the past several years she has introduced the Labyrinth to thousands of men and women, and observed their experiences with its power. They have emerged from their walks with a tremendous sense of peace and possibility. Artress's book explores the historical origins of this divine imprint and shares the discoveries of modern-day seekers.
