Labyrinth Experience
      The Cretan labyrinth here at Miramar is a seven-path labyrinth leading to the center, the place of the Divine. Labyrinths have been in existence for over 4000 years. In the Middle Ages they were places of pilgrimage where Christians could come and experience the journey of their spiritual paths toward God. Today, through this walking meditation, we modern day pilgrims, open ourselves to God, move toward the center, and receive what God holds for us there, bringing back to the world what we have received.
