“If you’re looking for a way to meditate or pray that engages your body as well as your soul the labyrinth provides such a path. When you just want reflective time away from your busy life the labyrinth can offer you time out. The labyrinth holds up a mirror, reflecting back to us not only the light of our finest selves, but also whatever restrains us from shining forth. When struggling with grief, anger, a challenge or illness, walking the labyrinth can point the way to healing and wholeness..”   ~ from Exploring the Labyrinth: A Guide for Healing and Spiritual Growth by Melissa Gayle West

Building a Labyrinth has been a vision of Cynthia’s for decades. 

In 2018, the vision was realized in the form of Metta Labyrinth…
a labor of Love  ♥️

is a Veriditas Trained Labyrinth Facilitator, 

a  member of VIA (the Veriditas  International Association of Professionally Trained Labyrinth Facilitators), and member of The Labyrinth Society, 

Cynthia built Metta Labyrinth with the intention of sharing it as a sacred and healing path for all those who walk it. In April 2026, Cynthia journeyed  to the Sacred Valley of Peru and received ceremonial initiations given by Andean Q'ero Shamans to become an Earthkeeper. This has fueled her enthusiasm to share information about the sacred path of the labyrinth and its connection to Pachamama (Mother Earth). 

She offers introductory workshops and themed labyrinth walks often including the use of rituals, mindfulness, guided meditation, and sacred sound immersion.

Walking Metta Labyrinth

We welcome those who come to walk Metta Labyrinth. It is a sacred path and we ask that you walk it with mindfulness, reverence and gratitude for Pachamama (Mother Earth).  

If you are new to the labyrinth, here is some guidance to help with your walk.

At the Threshold of the Labyrinth: Remember

Take time to offer gratitude. You are invited to count your blessings and be thankful for all  that supports you and  nourishes you. You may choose to focus on a mantra, prayer, or intention. If there’s a specific situation challenging you, bring it to mind and form a healing question if possible.

Entering the Labyrinth: Release

This is the time to quiet the mind, let go of mental chatter and release your burdens. Open your heart to feel whatever it might feel. You may want to connect with your breath or your footsteps. Relax and move at your own pace. If you meet someone on the path, do what feels natural. You may move ahead of others, and they may pass you by.  Follow your intuition and experience your experience.

Pausing at the Center: Receive

This is a place of reflection. Pause and stay for as long as you like. Open yourself to your higher power and to your heart. Listen to that still, small inner voice. In the safety of the labyrinth have a heart-to-heart talk with yourself.

Outward path through the Labyrinth: Return

When you are ready, retrace your steps. On the return journey, the integration of your experience happens. You may feel a sense of well-being, healing, excitement, calm or peace. You may also Reclaim, Restore, Renew some aspect of your life.

Each labyrinth experience is different.  You might not notice anything or have an insightful, transformative journey. A message may come later or in a dream. Whatever occurs, listen to your heart.
