Labyrinths have been used throughout history as a centerpiece for contemplation and consideration of the self. This field guide invites the Explorer to investigate several labyrinths that have been created around the world. The labyrinth builders have selected locations for their own reasons, but in these creations they offer a focal point for Guild members to explore both the landscape that surrounds us, as well as our own inner landscape.

This field guide is to be used in conjunction with any existing labyrinth either as a group of Explorers, or as a personal meditative process. Each section is to be read by the participant in their own head. Be sure to read each word as this journey shouldn’t be rushed. Within Explorer traditions, it is suggested to find five labyrinths and go through them contemplating one of five different personal questions. Each section of the labyrinth encourages you to deepen your understanding of these questions and should help you understand it further. It is, of course, also acceptable to approach a labyrinth with your own questions or thoughts to work through.

An Explorer may earn the Labyrinth Keeper badge by providing proof that they have visited 5 or more labyrinths.
