On October 17 the Hinton Center Board of Directors dedicated the new Hinton labyrinth. The labyrinth was made possible by the family of Clarence and Vallie Staten who were long term neighbors of Hinton and who served on the Hinton board during the early years of Hinton's development.
A labyrinth is a pattern: usually a large circle, with a single winding path that you walk to the center, and then walk the same path back out. Wallking the path of the labyrinth is a symbol for the journey of life. It is a tool for reflection, meditation, prayer, problem solving and personal growth. A labyrinth is not a maze because it does not have any dead end paths. Christians have used labyrinths for many centuries as a walking meditation and a path of prayer. The labyrinth in the floor of Chartres Cathedral in France has been used for over 800 years.
The Hinton labyrinth is open to the community. Everyone is welcome to come and see and walk. You will see signs directing you to the labyrinth as you enter the Hinton parking lot.
