The labyrinth at Whitman-Walker clinic

A labyrinth is a circular, intricate pattern on which one walks as way of contemplation and meditation. It features an unbroken path with only one way in and one way out, unlike a maze which is designed to confuse and trick. More and more people are walking labyrinths today in search of inner peace and healing.

For centuries, labyrinths have been used for religious traditions, and it is only since the early 1990’s that labyrinths have become more mainstream in non-religious settings such as hospitals, wellness and retreat centers, parks and business complexes.
