Labyrinths have been used around the world for thousands of years for meditation, relaxation, and spiritual practice. The labyrinth is a place where we can find peace, stillness, insight, and relaxation. Walking a labyrinth is a beautiful form of meditation.
Emerson has created a new labyrinth-walking group, which visits one of Houston’s many wonderful labyrinths approximately once each quarter, as well as occasional on-site walks at Emerson. Watch this page for information about upcoming walks.
If you want to learn more about labyrinth walking, the Emerson bookstore has copies of Walking the Sacred Path and The Sacred Path Companion, both by Lauren Artress, and The Way of the Labyrinth by Helen Curry. These books provide helpful insights into this ancient and powerful form of personal meditation and transformation.
