Labyrinth on Fort Mountain

Fort Mountain now has a Labyrinth for guests of The Overlook Inn to enjoy.  The Labyrinth was designed to fit in with the surrondings and guests enjoy the breath-taking views of the North Georgia Mountains while walking the path.

A Labyrinth is a winding pathway that forms an ancient symbol; but unlike a maze, has only one way to go.  The way in is the way out, so you can’t make a wrong turn. 

To best experience the Labyrinth walk heel to toe while winding through the pathway.  Go slowly.  Ancient customs say that walking to the center of the Labyrinth is taking a journey of your life.  Don’t rush to get there.  Pause and take in your surroundings, take a cleansing breath, and enjoy the tranquility of your mountain setting.  As you round the corners, think about the important parts of your life.  When you arrive at the center, you should feel a connection with the present. Take a moment to think about what you have accomplished and what you have learned.  As you return to the start of the Labyrinth, reflect on your life as it is today. 

Labyrinths can be used for meditation, for prayer, and for fun.  Use it for whatever makes you feel good. Â
