Visit the Chatham Labyrinth on Your Own
Center for the Spiritual Journey is grateful to be the “caretakers” of the Chatham Labyrinth and for the support of our labyrinth community. We are also grateful for whatever wisdom the labyrinth holds for those who find their way there.
The Chatham Labyrinth is located in Chase Park behind the Grist Mill. Take Cross Street (off Main Street). Bear left at Shattuck Place and follow to the parking lot in front of the windmill. Walk up the winding path behind the Gristmill. The Labyrinth is nestled toward the back.
We look forward to meeting you on your journey!

What is a Labyrinth?
For thousands of years, labyrinths have been a part of our artistic and spiritual landscape. A labyrinth is an ancient circular pattern, perhaps derived from nature, with a single winding path that provides a meditative walk to the center and back out again. It is not a maze. There are no tricks or dead ends. It is one continuous path.
Labyrinths are often thought to symbolize our journey through life and are a spiritual tool open to all people everywhere. They offer a quiet and meditative place to be still, and can often be a unifying and healing experience.
The pattern has been walked by millions of people of all cultures for many reasons. It is a sacred place set aside for personal reflection, looking within, listening to our intuitive selves and recovering our imaginations. The rhythm of walking, placing one foot in front of the other, helps empty the monkey mind that so many of us experience in contemporary culture. Walking the labyrinth relaxes the body and refreshes the spirit.
