When you hear the term “labyrinth” you might immediately start thinking about Greek history, or a maze that was intended to confuse whoever was inside. However, there is a different way of looking at a labyrinth. For centuries, labyrinths have been used as paths for people to take a journey—to meditate and breathe their way from start to finish. If this sounds like something that you would like to try, then we have a free, outdoor labyrinth in Georgia for you to check out.
When you visit the tiny town of Rome, Georgia, you’ll find that there is so much more than originally meets the eye.
Tucked inside central Rome, right behind the Rome Civic Center right by the corner of historic Jackson Hill, you’ll find this unique outdoor area which is free for all to enjoy.
Labyrinths have been used for thousands of years throughout different cultures and religions, representing a journey for an individual into their own center and back into the world again.
Walking the labyrinth is not intended to be a maze, but instead a path, where visitors can walk using it as a way of meditating—step by step, breath by breath.
