Labyrinth


SSUC welcomes you to their new indoor labyrinth!

Our labyrinth is inspired by the labyrinth in Chartres Cathedral, France which was installed in 1201, and provided an alternative form of pilgrimage when it was no longer safe to make the journey to Jerusalem.

A wise keeper of our labyrinth, Charles Bidwell, has said:

“A labyrinth is not a maze built to confuse, but a single pathway winding to the center and returning out again on the same path. On the labyrinth walk, we engage the ancient spiritual practice of discovery. As we move to the center, healing, transformation, and the divine can be known. As we return from the center to the edge, we re-enter the world with new insight and commitment.

Following such a pattern is a dance that engages us on a cellular level, returning us to a felt sense of the body walking the path of life. It is a pattern to be experienced and encountered as we seek wholeness in an increasingly fragmented world.”

SSUC hosts labyrinth walks to celebrate the equinoxes and solstices as our earth turns. We look forward to welcoming you to our Labyrinth.
