Labyrinths: Walking in the Garden with God

This study compares experiences of those walking on two different types of labyrinths. One is the 11-circuit Chartres labyrinth. The second is a contemporary 2-entrance, 7-circuit labyrinth. The study tries to ascertain whether a walk on a contemporary labyrinth is commensurate with a walk on an archetypal labyrinth as a path to inner reflection, healing, transformation, and contemplation of God. Participants’ experiences were similar in terms of walking either or both labyrinths. In conclusion, however, each walk provided a completely different experience for the walker no matter which labyrinth walked.
