Our building
Labyrinths were originally created by 12th century Christian mystics when the Crusades made pilgrimages to the Holy Land too dangerous. Walking the labyrinth was a symbolic pilgrimage. The most famous labyrinth is in Chartres Cathedral near Paris, France; it was built in the late 13th century. For some, the labyrinth walk may be no more magical than a walk in the woods, and for others it may bring a profound feeling of peace and the sensing of the presence of God.
On the floor of the CFR gym there is marked out a labyrinth ready for you to walk. Ours follows the ancient design from Chartres Cathedral in France. There is no right way to walk a labyrinth. You only have to enter and follow the path. However, your walk can encompass a variety of attitudes. It may be joyous or sombre. It might be thoughtful or prayerful. You may use it as a walking meditation. There are some times through the year when we draw particular attention to the labyrinth walk. Other times it is available to you by arrangement.
