Te Puna Wai Ora

The Labyrinth

Labyrinth

A labyrinth is a circular pathway walked for relaxation, meditation or prayer. It can also be appreciated as a work of art. The Labyrinth is available at any time of the day for anyone, whether connected to the hospital, or just passing by.

It costs nothing to walk the Labyrinth. However donations are welcome.
