Il Labirinto
From June 20th to June 29th, every evening from 9:00 PM, you can experience the now traditional Sacred Labyrinth at the Three Arches, which will be built and guarded by Àrtos.
In the Ancient World, the “unicursal” Labyrinth, which follows a single path, represents the Great Goddess, the universal creative energy, and its center is the place of rebirth and renewal. At the entrance, remain silent and focus on one intention, then ask inwardly for permission to enter. Proceed in silence, taking a slow but steady pace, following the path without ever stopping and ensuring you don’t stray, while keeping your intention in mind. Once you reach the center, you can pause for a few minutes: close your eyes and concentrate on the magical energy you feel. Then retrace your steps, paying attention not to leave the path, maintaining an inner attitude of gratitude.
Before leaving the Labyrinth, at the threshold, turn towards the center and give thanks. At this point, you will receive your Oracle, which will provide the answer to your question or intention, chosen with an open heart and eyes closed.
For any questions or information, Àrtos, the Guardian of the Labyrinth, will be available.
