The labyrinth
is one of the oldest symbolic figures of humankind. For millennia, it has been
scratched into rock or clay, painted on pottery, laid out with stones on the
ground or drawn in old manuscripts. Once again, the labyrinth has experienced a
revival and all over the world, especially in German-speaking countries and the
U.S., hundreds of new labyrinths are being drawn, built and again put to use.
The labyrinth is not only a soothing design, but a
metaphor of the life path. It is our journey through time reflecting major life
themes: departures, turnings, throw backs, examinations, achievements, and the
mysteries and grace of being led. Walking the labyrinth is like looking into a
mirror: life’s questions and answers rise up and are able to open some
interesting insights about oneself, life, God and the world.
Gernot Candolini, Austrian author, photographer, and
designer of labyrinths, encourages us to view our lives as labyrinths rather
than a maze where we can make wrong choices and lose ourselves, where we
reprimand ourselves when we are divorced or downsized, or if we fail as parents.
In the labyrinth, with its one path to the center, we are opened to a wide range
of possibilities without the fear that our choices will cause us to be lost or
lead us to a dead end.
We
invite you to take advantage of all that the Middleton
Center offers – and spread the word. Our work is
confidential and our fees are on a sliding scale. We WELCOME
you and want to support you as you embrace your “one wild
and precious life.”
