The Emmaus Labyrinth
Our labyrinth has was completed in 2011, a community effort involving community members and led by garden designer Peter Moore from Haddington (www.feagourdesigns.co.uk). Peter and his family led us over two weekends in clearing the ground, shifting two tons of gravel, and carefully laying out the labyrinth stepping stones already being walked by our guests.
Former chaplain to Edinburgh University, Revd Di Williams (author of “Labyrinth: landscape of the soul”) and initiator of the university’s labyrinth in George Square gardens, writes: “In the fast-paced world in which we now live, we need simple, beautiful places like labyrinths that draw us in by the attention of their pattern to slow ourselves down, still the busy mind and connect us again with our deep inner resources.”
We hope that visitors to Emmaus House will find in the labyrinth just such a place of stillness at the very heart of the city.
