The labyrinth is a spiritual tool that has many applications in various settings.  It reduces stress, quiets the mind, and opens the heart.  It is a walking meditation, a path to prayer and a blueprint where psyche meets Spirit.” Reverend Lauren Artress, Episcopal priest, author, and founder of Veriditas an organization dedicated to teaching about the Labyrinth Experience.

Bethany Retreat Center is home to a 7 Circuit Chalice Classical Labyrinth. 

The labyrinth is a divine imprint found in many cultures around the world.  The labyrinth is not a maze, it has only one path so there are no tricks to it and no dead ends.  The path becomes a mirror for where we are in our lives.  The rhythm of walking, placing one foot in front of the other, quiets the mind, relaxes the body, and refreshes the spirit.   Walk it with an open heart and an open mind resting in the center to listen for God.
