The story of the Labyrinth

The labyrinth is an ancient symbol that represents our journey through life. A labyrinths beautiful form appears to be so complex; somewhat like our lives, yet when we trust the Path we find the center.
Labyrinths have become a perfect symbol of a woman's journey through pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum.
As part of my gourmet childbirth preparation classes, I introduce laborinths. We learn how to draw them and relate to their symbolism for the journey ahead.

''the first path a human being ever travels...is the path that leads out of the maternal womb. Every human being's first labyrinth is that of woman.'' Jacques Attali : The Labyrinth in Culture and Society
