Into the labyrinth: Excursions and applications for creative process

Abstract: This project surveyed, analyzed, and organized implicit references to creativity in labyrinth literature to assess the validity and context within which the labyrinth could be used as a creativity tool to facilitate creative change. The work discovered explicit links to the creativity concepts, processes/tools, models, and outcomes required to facilitate creative, transformational change. Implications for future studies suggest the opportunity to qualify and quantify the increased effect on creative production when Creative Problem Solving techniques are applied to the labyrinth experience; the ability to generate "in-the-moment" benefits of incubation; and the placement of the labyrinth within the full repertoire of tools available within the seven thinking skills evident in the Creative Problem Solving Thinking Skills Model.
