Our Labyrinth

We have a wonderful spiritual resource right beneath our feet in Willett Hall. The Trinity Labyrinth is open to the public 7:00am-9:00am (Mon-Fri), 9:30am-12:30pm (Sun).

 Walking the Labyrinth

The Christian is invited to approach walking a labyrinth in three stages: purgation, illumination, and union.

- Purgation: one walks slowly toward the center, circling around, to release, to empty, to quiet one’s self, relinquishing all that we seek to control.

- Illumination: after following a winding path that seems at times illogical, we are surprised to find ourselves at the center, where most often we gain insight.

- Union: as we follow the path out, back into the world, we seek to integrate what we have learned and experienced

One should approach walking the labyrinth in an open, accepting spirit. Walk slowly into the entrance, seeking to empty your mind of the cares of the world and any preconceptions. No two persons will have the same experience nor is there any one right way to walk a labyrinth, just as each person’s journey through life is unique and as each one of us is unique and valued in God’s sight.
