Labyrinth

Labyrinth Sky ViewThe labyrinth is an ancient symbol that can be traced back over 3,500 years. It is a single path which takes you to a center place and back out again. One of the most famous labyrinths (and the one replicated here at Jubilee Farm) is the one embedded in the stone floor of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Chartres, France. Used as a pathway of prayer, it afforded medieval pilgrims, who could not leave their own country, the opportunity to make a spiritual version of the sacred journey to the holy city of Jerusalem.

Jubilee Farm LabyrinthThere are no wrong turns or dead ends in a labyrinth – there is one way in and one way out.  Millions of people around the world use the labyrinth as a spiritual practice.
