Labyrinth Walk February 15, 2010

Come walk the beautiful labyrinth inlaid in the hardwood floor in Trinity's Kempton Hall. Arrive any time between 4 and 8:30 pm, take off your shoes, walk in silence at your own pace, take time to reflect before and/or after. We'll have some candles out and play some gentle, relaxing music.

Trinity's labyrinth is the same pattern as the 11-circuit labyrinth installed in Chartres circa 1200 CE. Those of you who are detail geeks will enjoy this technical info on the Chartres labyrinth:

Note that a labyrinth is not a puzzle or a maze: there is only one winding path in and the same winding path back out again. Walking the labyrinth helps quiet our brains which have been so busy all day long.
