A place to pray

The Prayer Labyrinth

Walk the ancient one-way path — a centuries-old tool for prayer and reflection.

Walk and pray

A single path in and out

The labyrinth is not a maze — there are no dead ends and no wrong turns. It is a single one-way path that leads in to the centre and back out again. For centuries, Christians have walked paths like this one as a way to pray with the body as well as the mind.

  1. 1

    The way in

    As we walk in, we release our anxiety, our fears, and our sin.

  2. 2

    The long journey

    The path turns. We think we are making progress, then find ourselves seemingly all the way back on the outside again. It is a long journey.

  3. 3

    The centre

    We commune with God in the middle — and simply rest with Him.

  4. 4

    The way out

    We re-enter the world and offer ourselves to God, asking for new eyes to see how we can love and serve Him and others.
