Experiences of our Labyrinth

People who walked the Pilgrims Fabric Labyrinth have said:

“The labyrinth has led me on an emotional journey within myself… A journey in which I faced the emotions of two battles against cancer, one won, one lost… A realisation that I still had hope and a future.” Marian - Hospice patient

(Walking the labyrinth) “I felt at peace.” Beth Atkins - National Association of Complementary Therapists in Hospice and Palliative Care

“When I walked the labyrinth I felt comforted and despite the sadness in my life. I felt warmth from those who loved and cared for me.” David Smith - Carer

“Being pushed in my wheelchair round the labyrinth by my husband, together we found that it was the most spiritual and magical thing we have ever experienced. I have Motor Neurone Disease, and whether or not our emotions were high the feeling of inner calm and love made us both feel complete. It was thought provoking and awe-inspiring, also something together we could both share.” Diane – patient

“I had time to reflect and to think that the labyrinth would always be there for you if you had need of it.” William – patient

“Since walking the labyrinth over a period of time the depression that had settled over me when my husband died has lifted.” Angela – volunteer

“I was very moved by the experience and found a sense of peace, especially as my daughter was able to walk with me.” Joyce – patient
