Vision
|
What the world needs now is peace. Inner Peace.
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. Regardless of our differences the labyrinth is a simple path we can all walk together.
Walking a labyirnth is one way we can experience the deep satisfaction of inner peace and interconnectedness.

What is a labyrinth?
It is much easier to experience a labyrinth than to describe one. The labyrinth offers a meandering path that unlike a maze, is not a puzzle and does not have dead ends. This simple path is one we can walk to connect to our deepest selves and to each other.
Labyrinths are thought to enhance right brain activity and creativity and offer a a powerful tool for personal, psychological and spiritual transformation.
The American Cancer Society states that labyrinths "may be helpful as a complementary method to decrease stress and create a state of relaxation."
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, prisons, 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.
