New Permanent Labyrinth

The permanent Labyrinth at St. Paul's was blessed and dedicated on Sunday, June 5, 2005 at 3pm.  It is located next to our meditation garden below the lower parking lot  This labyrinth is a replica of the classical eleven circuit design embedded in the floor of Chartres Cathedral in France, built around 1220. It is a sacred place, a spiritual tool meant to awaken us to the deep rhythm that unites us to ourselves and to the Light from within. Walking the Labyrinth becomes a metaphor for our journey through life and builds a sense of relationship....to people, to creation and to the Divine.

Seekers and believers of all faiths are welcome at the Labyrinth during daylight hours.

Notes on the Labyrinth
May 2006


The labyrinth is not holy in itself, but what can happen on it is holy.  It is a joy to share with you that people are experiencing renewal of spirit on the St. Paul’s Labyrinth.  These stories have been related recently by people of different ages and backgrounds.  Here are a few:

A young man came to visit his grandmother and shared with her his sense of depression.  Because she had walked it herself, she suggested that he try it.  After returning home he called to let her know, he realized his depression was gone.

A mother, whose child was ill, had a “heavy heart” so she came to St. Paul’s to walk the labyrinth and pray in the meditation garden.  Her daughter's condition had not changed, but this woman had a new found feeling of well being.

A woman came to Cambria on a retreat.  The leader let the group know about our labyrinth, so she came to walk it.  Her experience was so positive that she came back on Sunday, the last day of her retreat, just to see what kind of people worship here.

An artist was ”feeling dry” and found her creative imagination again by walking the labyrinth.
