Almetto Howey Alexander Labyrinth

Labyrinths are planned spiritual walks through circuitous path designs.  The walk always leads to a center and can be an individual or a shared experience.
The use of labyrinths dates back to ancient times.  For centuries, there have been accounts of labyrinths providing tremendous health and spiritual benefits.  
The labyrinth provides a balancing activity, one which may best be pursued alone, in one's own time of need, searching, or desire for peace and focus. Experiencing the solace of journey provided by a labyrinth brings peace, healing, and enlightenment — appropriate for people of any age.
