Interestingly, both of the spaces where I attend meditation retreats have a labyrinth. One of them is pictured here, the other one, despite following multiple hand painted signs deep into the bush, remains hidden from me. Perhaps the seeking itself is the thing.

Labyrinths […] typically differ from general mazes (which are built to confuse the walker) by providing a safe and partly contained environment for people to walk through as they pray or meditate. Such labyrinths have only one path to follow, which removes the conflict of decision from the journey itself, allowing the walker to focus on their mental activity while engaging in mild physical activity.
