What is a labyrinth?
Mirror. Map. Mandala.
Labyrinths are ancient, powerful spaces for movement and reflection. They date back thousands of years and are represented in various ways through time, space, and culture.
Labyrinths pre-date, are the pre-cursor to, and have different function than mazes. Labyrinths vary in design, complexity, and size while there is only one pathway to follow into the center. In reverse, the path returns to the origin. Yet, they are not the same path, nor are they the same journey.
