Labyrinth at the New Vision Center for Spiritual Living

At the New Vision Center for Spiritual Living in Phoenix, a New Thought community, a permanent outdoor labyrinth is part of the center's grounds and program, walked in its services and open to visitors. The Labyrinth Locator's record lists it as a Chartres-essence 7-circuit path; installed December 19, 2020.

Every labyrinth is a walking practice, not a puzzle: a single path winds to a center and back out, and the walk is done slowly, as prayer or meditation. The pattern descends from the medieval pavement labyrinth at Chartres, and the modern urban revival began in the 1990s when Lauren Artress brought replicas of that path to American congregations and public grounds through Veriditas and the Labyrinth Society, whose World-Wide Labyrinth Locator now catalogs thousands. There is no branching and no trick to the path; walkers of every religion and none use it.
