"The longest journey
Is the journey inwards."
— Dag Hammarskjold

Humans have always seen in the labyrinth a symbol of life's deepest meanings. A labyrinth has only a single path — there is no chance you will go astray, so long as you follow the path — but there is far more to it than simply an interesting visual pattern or architectural construction, more than a maze's puzzling game. At the center of the labyrinth, we may encounter a monster — or the Divine. Ultimately, the center is the Self, the true identity to which each of us is called.

Then, once we reach the center, we must find our way out and back to the outer world, forever transformed. This expedition — with its threefold steps of release, renew, return — will be repeated over and over in our lives. And each time, we will come closer to the wholeness for which we were created.
