The
Labyrinth Community Network (LCN) is a
group of volunteers who value the experience of walking
or tracing a labyrinth.
In
our modern, often chaotic culture and times the opportunity
to step into an oasis of calm is rare. Labyrinths provide
such an opportunity. Toronto Public Labyrinth is situated
in the heart of Toronto’s bustling metropolis.
The
group spearheaded the creation of Toronto
Public Labyrinth at Trinity Square Park which officially
opened September 14, 2005. LCN worked in collaboration with
the City of Toronto and The Church of the Holy Trinity on
this labyrinth and its predecessor, the grass labyrinth,
installed in July 2000.
Ontario Trillium Foundation provided major financial support.

WINDING PATHS CAN LEAD TO WELLNESS
"I have seen people with poor energy, who are unable
to walk longer than the hallway, walk the labyrinth with
purposefulness and a sense of joy. That is very special,"
says physiotherapist Angie Andreoli in a recent feature
article by Janice Mawhinney in the health section of the
Toronto Star.

THE HILDEGARD PROJECT
The Hildegard Project presented a concert
and labyrinth walk at
the Church of the Holy

Bingen (1098-1179).
It

YOUR WAY TO PEACE AND CONTENTMENT
"It's
a very sort of focused, be-in-the-moment activity and it's
very calming. ... It can be spiritually quite uplifting
and really good for some people who are agitated or having
some mental-health disorders as well," Leslie Bolt,
a former patient at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, tells reporter Melissa Whetstone of the Globe
and Mail.
