This morning I got up at 5:45 am (woke up 5:30 yuck) to open the prayer labyrinth at Binkley Baptist Church here in Chapel Hill. This is an ecumenical effort shared by ten churches here in Chapel Hill, if I recall the figure correctly. Lit the candles, cued the music (female voices, Celtic spiritual stuff). It's in a huge area w/polished concrete floor (concrete tinted pinkish brown, not the normal grey) and big wooden arches and wood construction, and a monster skylight way overhead. Wonderful space for this, very quiet. Walking the labyrinth is kind of mystical and new-age-y, you might like it.
The labyrinth at Binkley is a copy of The Chartres labyrinth. One of the ways to walk it is found here: Walking a labyrinth. (Those are two links off the page The Labyrinth: Walking Your Spiritual Journey.)
Labyrinth, the Occult has Gone Mainstream -- conservatives hate it. A lot of energy is spent on this page detailing how evil it is.
