"The labyrinth is an archetype of transformation. Its transcendant nature knows no boundaries, crossing time and cultures with ease. The labyrinth serves as a bridge from the mundane to the divine. It serves us well."
Kimberly Lowelle Saward, Ph.D., TLS President

Welcome to The Labyrinth Society!
This organization, known affectionately as "TLS," is made up of labyrinth enthusiasts from all over the world. In only six years, well over 800 people have joined TLS; people who walk, build, write about and study labyrinths. There are members who work to place labyrinths in schools and promote labyrinths for use in mainstream healthcare. There are members who write music to use while walking a labyrinth and others who are fascinated by the mathematical challenges labyrinths have to offer.
We hope you will approach our website as you would a labyrinth trusting it to take you where you need to go as it draws you slowly to the center. Here on the website you can become a member, find a list of labyrinth builders or commit to walking a labyrinth every day for a year by joining the 365 Club. You can communicate with other labyrinth enthusiasts via the Forum, download our free screensaver or find out about using labyrinths in educational settings. There is information about the different types of labyrinths and a detailed bibliography section.
The Labyrinth Society has no office, there are no bricks or mortar, no footprint on the earth. Instead, we are grounded by the labyrinths found all over our planet and connected by the Internet. However, we now have a half-time paid executive director who works out of his home and supports our dedicated board members and other volunteers. TLS is very open and accessible - please email all questions or suggestions you might have to any member of the board or committee chairperson.
Every member of TLS brings new information, insights and new opportunities to the organization. We look forward to hearing your labyrinth stories and ideas. We know that you bring valuable knowledge and we hope that you will share it with us.
Again, welcome to The Labyrinth Society.
