A classical seven circuit labyrinth was constructed in 2003 in the front yard of the Peace House by members of the Metanoia community.  The seven circuits refers the seven paths that lead to the center or goal. This is an ancient design found in most cultures, dating back more than 4000 years.  Also known as the Cretan Labyrinth,  it is associated with the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. This design was found on Cretan coins. 

The classical labyrinth also is associated with Christianity. A cross is the starting point used to construct this labyrinth. The cross at the center can become the focus for meditation and the experience of the labyrinth. The classical labyrinth design is found in many churches in Europe. 

The Metanoia labyrinth contains two balanced rock structures on the path, and a sculpted concrete bench at its center, which may be used for meditation.  The still-living stump of a tree felled by disease stands as a sign of hope and regeneration for all who meditate here. 

Our labyrinth, which is listed in World-Wide Labyrinth Locator, is open to the public and may be visited without appointment seven days a week.
