What do you think of when you hear the word labyrinth? \\xa0 Perhaps the confusing lair where the minotaur dwelled?\\xa0 That was actually a maze, which was constructed to keep the minotaur confused and confined.\\xa0 Actually, a labyrinth is something that is meant to set one free. \\xa0 According to the Labyrinth Society:
A labyrinth is a meandering path, often unicursal, with a singular path leading to a center. Labyrinths are an ancient archetype dating back 4,000 years or more, used symbolically, as a walking meditation, choreographed dance, or site of rituals and ceremony, among other things. Labyrinths are tools for personal, psychological and spiritual transformation, also thought to enhance right-brain activity. Labyrinths evoke metaphor, sacred geometry, spiritual pilgrimage, religious practice, mindfulness, environmental art, and community building.
Dan Raven is a master Labyrinth builder (when he is not in other roles of masseuse, or the "Grandpa of the Pottawatomie Park Dog Friendly Play Zone) and has pursued the complexities and varieties of labyrinths across the United States and in Europe.\\xa0 Dan has built many labyrinths around the Chicago area over 30\\xa0 years and shares with us the interesting circumstances that construction and meeting people who build and use them present\\xa0 Take a walk with us as we\\xa0 Explore the Labyrinth on STRUNG OUT.
