Discover this wonderful oasis for your mind, body and soul in the heart of Burlington. It is one of the first labyrinths in a public space and is one of the first wheelchair accessible labyrinths in all of Canada. Open access for walking the labyrinth is provided day and night, from early spring until the snow comes.
A labyrinth is an ancient, geometric pattern that has a single path that leads into the centre and out again. Not to be confused with a maze, a labyrinth was originally based on a circle, the ancient symbol for healing, unity and wholeness. A maze offers a choice of paths, dead ends and false starts; it is our cognitive mind (left brain) that loves to problem solve. Walking the labyrinth involves the creative and intuitive mind (right brain) and can be calming and balancing. Walking the labyrinth may take you 20 to 30 minutes for a slow meditative, reflective walk. However, children or others can playfully meander in a matter of minutes.

The Labyrinth is located on Guelph Line just north of New Street in Burlington, Ontario.
