A labyrinth is a single, circular, winding path that leads into, and out of, the centre – unlike mazes, which have multiple entrances and paths. Labyrinths have existed for thousands of years, and are found world-wide in many cultures. They are often used as a walking meditation practice. Research at Harvard Medical School and elsewhere has shown that simple activities like this can reduce anxiety, high blood pressure and insomnia. The Port Stephens Labyrinth as a walking, mindfulness meditation will offer all people the opportunity to quieten the mind, relax the body, find balance, gain insight, find solace, contemplate, heal and restore, open the heart and celebrate life. Planning and fundraising is now underway to establish a labyrinth in Port Stephens and we look forward to your support in establishing this important wellbeing asset for the community.
