Custom Labyrinth Design, Vision

Rediscover your sacred ground.....with FERTILE GROUND, LLC

VISION STATEMENT
Design and construct labyrinths thereby expanding opportunities in our built environment for diverse people to seek and experience the healing power of a mind cleared, a heart opened, a spirit rejuvenated, a creative fire rekindled. In short, labyrinths can awaken one's soul to the realization that at the "Center"of our being we are inextricably tied to one another and to all of creation.
	When we strip away the layers of the material world the commonality and sanctity of all of life is more apt to reveal itself. In recognizing the sameness in "all," our hearts begin to open to the pain, suffering, and injustices prevalent in our culture and in the world. Perhaps this understanding can open the door for us to more creatively engage the world with compassion and peace.
