    Labyrinth

    Labyrinths have been known and used for over 3,500 years by people of many cultures.
     
    The ROC labyrinth is based on Cretan design and was created by volunteers from Hospice Georgina under the leadership of Debra Scott.
     
    The labyrinth is a single path walk. There are no tricks to it and no dead ends. The path is winding and becomes a mirror for our lives; it touches our sorrows and releases our joys. As we walk it with an open mind and an open heart, it leads to healing, blessing, self-knowledge, clarity, balance and the shedding of guilt.  
     
    Visitors welcome to walk the labyrinth at any time.
    Feel free to care for the grounds and to treat them as a sacred space.
