A labyrinth is a single path or unicursal tool for personal, psychological and spiritual transformation. Labyrinths are thought to enhance right brain activity. The American Cancer Society states that labyrinths "may be helpful as a complementary method to decrease stress and create a state of relaxation."
“Research studies conducted in a variety of settings have consistently shown that walking a labyrinth reduces stress.In fact, over the past few years, this has been the most commonly-researched topic related to the so-called ‘labyrinth effect’.” John W. Rhodes, Ph.D.Chair, Research Committee, The Labyrinth Society
Labyrinth Network Northwest facilitates communication and cooperation between labyrinth-interested people in the Pacific Northwest.
