The Bliss Labyrinth
The Bliss Labyrinth is an all-natural pathway of sand and stone, designed to be walked barefoot for an added sense of grounding and connection to Mother Earth. This sacred space invites you into a walking meditation that nourishes the mind, body, and spirit. The natural textures beneath your feet heighten awareness and help you attune to the rhythms of the earth, deepening your meditative experience.
Walking Meditation with Intention
Unlike a maze, which can confuse or challenge, a labyrinth offers a single, flowing path that gently guides you inward to the center and back out again. The journey is symbolic—an outer walk that mirrors inner transformation.
The Three Stages of the Walk
- Releasing: As you begin your walk toward the center, you are invited to let go of thoughts, worries, and distractions. Each step releases tension and opens space for mindfulness.
- Receiving: At the heart of the labyrinth, you pause in stillness. This is a sacred moment for reflection, prayer, or silent awareness—an opportunity to listen deeply to your inner guidance.
- Returning: Walking the same path outward, you carry back the insights, calm, and clarity you’ve received. The return journey integrates your experience, bringing renewed peace and centeredness into your daily life.
The Bliss Labyrinth is both a physical and spiritual journey—an invitation to ground, release, and reconnect with your own natural harmony.
Fire Pit
On the south side of the property, there is a large fire pit. (limited to use during non-fire ban season) A perfect way to end an evening under the stars, just to gather or hold a fire ceremony.
