Labyrinths at their core are an\u00a0archetype<\/a>. \u00a0They are very old structures and designs with the earliest Labyrinths dating to 4,000 years. \u00a0Some appear as archaic petroglyphs or as designs woven into Amerindian baskets or fired into ceramic pots.\u00a0 They appear in paintings and drawings from various peoples across the globe. The earliest reported labyrinth was a two-story stone building in Egypt\u00a0described by the Greek historian Herodotus<\/a>.<\/p>\nWalking forward into the Christian Middle Ages labyrinths were made into the floors of quiet, serene cathedral naves such as the Labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral,\u00a0built in 1145 over 20 years<\/a>.. \u00a0 Old outdoor Labyrinths in England were often constructed of hedges and\u00a0raised berms of turf<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0It has been suggested<\/a>\u00a0that some of the aerial pictographs that appear on the plains of Nazca are in effect a type of Labyrinth.<\/p>\n Lisa of\u00a0Paths of Peace<\/a>\u00a0writes \u201cLabyrinth walking today can provide a sense of calm that is conducive to meditation, self-exploration and prayer. Though the labyrinth is thousands of years old, these ancient patterns still speak to us today. I believe our culture is so steeped in rapid stimulation, information and technology that we are yearning for places for quiet introspection and release. Labyrinths provide that well of solace where we can go to drink deeply.\u201d<\/p>\n Organizations and individuals are welcome to come and walk the labyrinth. \u00a0To make\u00a0arrangements, contact Linda at this link<\/a>. \u00a0Since this is a private residence, there are no public facilities. \u00a0The Labyrinth can be accessed via a side gate and is beautiful by moon or torch light.
