A labyrinth is not a maze; it is one path composed of many circuits. When walking, one can release thoughts and concerns on the way to the center, pause, and return feeling empowered. As one walks back and forth along the labyrinth, awareness is shifted from right brain to left brain and this leads to a receptive state of consciousness and balance. The mind opens for inner exploration, reflection and relaxation. Labyrinth History Labyrinths have been used to provide comfort, reduce stress and anxiety, and are becoming increasingly present throughout the world. They define sacred space, and have been an integral part of many cultures including Native American, Greek, Celtic and Mayan. The Labyrinth at Sharp Coronado is modeled after the Chartres Cathedral Labyrinth in France built nearly 800 years ago. In Remembrance of Mildred Mann Mildred Mann was a long-time Coronado resident and member of the Coronado Hospital Auxiliary. The Labyrinth was made possible by the generosity of John and Sara Wells, Martha Moore, Molly Scanlon, Jim Gordon, Jeff Blair and BSD Builders. Visit the Labyrinth The Labyrinth at Sharp Coronado is located on the lawn outside of the sub-acute building at Second Street and Soledad Place, and is open for use by the public.
