What the world needs now is . . . peace. Inner Peace First
My vision for the Peace Project was inspired by a woman known as Peace Pilgrim. From 1953 to 1981 she walked more than 25,000 miles back and forth across the United States to bring attention to attaining inner peace — the path she believed would lead to world peace.
Like Peace Pilgrim I believe that when enough people know inner peace we will have world peace. Walking the labyrinth — a simple path we can all walk together — is one way we can experience the deep satisfaction of inner peace and connectedness.

What is a labyrinth?
The labyrinth offers a path we can all walk together to connect to our
deepest selves, to each other, and the the greater Spirit of Life.
The labyrinth is a meandering path that unlike a maze, it is not a puzzle and does not have dead ends. A labyrinth is generally much easier to experience than to describe.
The labyrinth is both simple and profound at the same time. Robert Ferre', current day labyrinth maker, describes it simply as 'a path with a purpose.' Others have described it as a metaphor for life.
The labyrinth is an ancient symbol of mysterious origin that has been found all over the world. Found painted on cave walls it has been determined to be at least 5,000 years old. This wonder-filled ancient tool is currently experiencing resurgence in popularity.
Last popular in the Middle Ages, the labyrinth has more recently found its way into churches, schools, hospitals, universities, public parks, backyards, and corporate boardrooms. When we walk the labyrinth we join the millions of people who have walked the same path before.
Why walk a labyrinth?
