Labyrinth Open Hours for the next 5 Friday afternoons


The College’s indoor Labyrinth in Building 10, room 143 will be open the next 5 Fridays to participate in a walking meditation. The labyrinth will be open from 2:30 until 5:00, so if you need a quiet break, just want to experience a labyrinth or try a walking mediation, please come on down and try it out.

The MCC labyrinth is a replication of The Chartres Labyrinth, an eleven circuit Labyrinth which was built early in the 13th century on the stone floor of Chartres Cathedral in France.

A labyrinth is not a maze, it is not meant to confuse or frustrate you. The labyrinth is one of the oldest contemplative tools known to humankind, used for centuries for personal and spiritual growth. This ancient design has been found as far back as 3000 years in a variety of forms and cultures. Some of the cultures where labyrinths have been found are ancient Crete, France, Hopi Native Americans, Norway, India, and the British Isles. Today, we find that walking a labyrinth addresses many psycho-spiritual areas of the human condition. The path is helpful in awakening our spirituality, simplicity in our hectic lives, integration of mind, body, spirit and promotes self-reflection and a connection with our community. A purposeful path that meanders to a center and provides personal and spiritual benefits. Labyrinths are a walking meditation and are often seen as metaphors of our life. The walking meditation can be used for reflection and problem solving with the daily issues.

Be well,

Craig
