The power of labyrinths for meditation

From Sunday Morning, 11:36 am on 20 April 2025

The Reverend Dr Lauren Artress first realised the power labyrinths at the height of the AIDS crisis, when she was Canon at San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral.  

In 1996, Dr Artress founded her non-profit Veriditas to promote labyrinths as a spiritual tool for reducing stress and quieting the mind. 

She joins Sunday Morning to talk about this ancient tradition and how labyrinths remain a powerful meditation form.
