The Labyrinth as a Mediative Tool

The Creative Path Walk was created as a monthly immersive meditation in which the participant traverses a large-scale labyrinth pattern. Conceived by Randall Stuart, with the partnerships of theatre set designer Jeff Seats, set painter Elecia Beebe, and with additional environmental design by theater artist Jo Pierce. What is unique about this particular adaptation of the Reims Cathedral Labyrinth historic pattern is its three-dimensional quality. The participant is traversing the pattern on the floor while encountering artful installations along the way. The experience includes fresh impressions each time, a familiar journey which is consistently full of surprise and meaning.

The practical applications of the project were enhanced by members of The Liminal Space Society who helped in making the monthly programming possible: studying patterns & influences, touring various indoor/outdoor installations, as well as presenting lectures at The Labyrinth Society national conferences. 

​Going forward is always a great thing to do,
as long as you trust that there's a reverse path
to bring you right back home, to reflect on where you've been.

THE CREATIVE PATH

The Creative Path Walk is inspired by the patterns, shapes, and angles
of Reims Cathedral in France,
and the famed walking labyrinth
​within that sanctuary.
