A 37-foot meditation labyrinth will arrive on the Bates College campus and be set out for its inaugural use Monday, Sept. 21, through Thursday, Sept. 24, from noon to 4 p.m. in the Clifton Daggett Gray Athletic Building. A set of concentric circles painted on a large piece of canvas that is placed on a floor for walking meditation, the labyrinth is an ancient tool for quiet reflection and the pursuit of inner clarity. The public is invited to participate free of charge.<\/p>\n
According to Bates College Chaplain Kerry Maloney, labyrinths are being installed in hospitals, synagogues, prisons, churches and other public spaces throughout the country. “Unlike a maze, a labyrinth has no dead ends or tricks; it has one path to the center and out again, a pattern in which many find a metaphor for the journey through life.”<\/p>\n
