Bunbury Garden Labyrinth is a community project by Bunbury Garden Labyrinth (WA) Inc, formerly known as Projects of Heart & Soul WA Inc. The project features landscaped gardens, a Moongate, and a Labyrinth set against the backdrop of the City of Bunbury. The Labyrinth offers visitors a space for contemplation, reflection, and connection, drawing inspiration from ancient traditions of creating sacred spaces for healing and community gathering.
Throughout history and across cultures, Labyrinths have served as places of ceremony, worship, and healing, bringing communities together in shared experiences. The Bunbury Garden Labyrinth, with its seven unfolding circles leading to the center, symbolizes the journey of life and provides a peaceful environment for individuals to pause, reflect, and rediscover the essential aspects of their lives. This public asset in Bunbury aims to foster hope, harmony, and a sense of community spirit among visitors from diverse backgrounds.
Labyrinths can be found worldwide in various settings, including churches, healthcare facilities, schools, and public gardens. Bunbury Garden Labyrinth invites people of all cultures and beliefs to engage in contemplation, prayer, and self-reflection. With over 5,400 labyrinths in 80 countries globally, this universal pattern serves as a tool for reducing stress, accessing intuition, and promoting creativity. The project represents a collaborative effort to create a cross-cultural, non-denominational space that encourages individuals to explore the deeper meanings of life and find solace in times of uncertainty.
