Wonder, Wander and Walk the Labyrinth
Saturday 18 April | 1pm-3pm
Looking for a way to find your footing in a busy world? Join us at Exeter Cathedral to rediscover the ancient practice of the Labyrinth.
Unlike a maze, a labyrinth has no dead ends. It is not designed to make you lose your way, but to help you find it. Whether you are seeking spiritual wholeness or just a moment of quiet reflection, the labyrinth serves as a symbolic path.
A labyrinth is a journey to the centre, a winding pilgrim path that is walked prayerfully and reflectively. There is no one way to use the labyrinth; each person experiences this pilgrimage in a different way. There are famous mediaeval labyrinths in some continental cathedrals, most notably in the nave at Chartres.
Try the “Four Rs” as you walk:
✦ Remembering: Enter with gratitude, counting your blessings
✦ Releasing: Let go of cares and distractions as you move toward the centre
✦ Receiving: Pause at the heart of the path to find silence and peace
✦ Resolve: Walk back out with new strength for your journey
Step onto holy ground with us.
This event is included in standard Cathedral admission.
