"O the blest eyes, the happy hearts,
That see, that know the guiding thread so fine,
Along the mighty labyrinth."  - Walt Whitman

The labyrinth is a one-way path that leads you, like your own life, around and about and by putting one foot in front of the other, you can get to the center and find inspiration. Labyrinths have been found all over the world and some of them are thousands of years old. This form of walking meditation is peaceful, joyful, and inspirational.

The labyrinth does not require you to bring any exclusive set of beliefs - just yourself.

Several times a year we host labyrinth walks. You are welcome to come to walk with us. We host indoor labyrinths on our beautiful 40 foot diameter canvas labyrinth in our main hall about four times a year, and outdoors on a chalk labyrinth in our parking lot and at the outdoor labyrinth at the University of Delaware Star Campus. These are free and open to the public.

At the labyrinth, we strive to create an environment that you will find welcoming, relaxing, and safe. We invite you to explore for yourself the inward/outward journey - inward to deepen your sense of self and soul - outward to broaden your awareness of connection with the whole web of creation. The labyrinth path calls out to you, "Come and see!".
