Our spirit is the part of us that transcends time and links us to the Divine.
The Prairie Labyrinth in Kansas City
Within each of us lies our center, a vortex of truth. Years are spent in the labyrinth of living, looking for the passageway to guide us in. We reach the apex of our journey when we clearly see- there is no return, but on the path that led us out. -Keeper of the Circles
Creating an earth-based labyrinth is creating living Art.
The art of living is the art of changing directions. A labyrinth imitates Life's journey taking us through reversals or constant turning points, but the single-path design ultimately returns us to our center. It provides a direct passageway to enter the NOW, bringing us into the present moment.
Because the Prairie Labyrinth near Kansas City is cut into living grasses, the path changes every day, reflecting our own cycles of evolution. This is especially apparent when the weather or seasons change.
Walking a labyrinth is a simple whole-body prayer, reconnecting you with the Presence that lies within.
Overview
Since 1987, Toby Evans has been practicing earth stewardship on property purchased near Kansas City, Missouri. During this time a prairie restoration project was initiated by planting warm season grasses on 5 acres. The project evolved from a network of paths cut around the perimeter of the prairie to constructing and maintaining a single-path labyrinth in the center. A Classical Seven-Circuit pattern was mowed into the grass on March 23, 1995 by Toby and Mary K Barge. It is called the Prairie Labyrinth.
Make an Appointment for the Prairie Labyrinth
More than a walk, these are energy sessions for individuals or groups geared to "quiet the mind, calm the body and stir the spirit." The labyrinth provides a sacred container for reflection, relaxation, release and renewal.
COST:
$50.00 per person. $40.00 per person for groups of 5 or more.
A guided induction process and introduction to the Prairie Labyrinth precedes your personal time in the labyrinth and includes walking in Chante Esti, the 9-petal Vesica star pattern. Measuring your energy field (aura) with dowsing rods is offered before and after walking to visually see the effect the labyrinth has on you.
If you have already visited the Prairie Labyrinth and want to return to have your own unassisted time on the paths or you are coming to bring others, the cost is a love offering/ donation of your choosing.
(E-mail for appointment and directions) The labyrinth is open from April through November by appointment only.
If you desire a winter experience, please inquire.
