I am a longtime scholar of the labyrinth, and labyrinth enthusiast. Ms. West's book is by far the best book I have ever read on labyrinths, and I believe I've read them all. I had never before had the courage to make a labyrinth, though. Ms. West's clear and simple instructions gave me the push I needed-I was astonished to find how really easy it was to create a labyrinth using her instructions. For anything to do with the labyrinth-history, theory, creative and imaginative uses, and how to make them-this book is absolutely essential.

I just discovered Melissa West's book. I am a longtime labyrinth facilitator and have devoured everything in print I can find. Her book is profoundly inspiring, both to newcomers (I've already recommended it to several) and regulars. I find especially helpful her specific instructions for using the labyrinth for fostering creativity and goal setting, something I've never thought to use the labyrinth for. I find very moving, and very inspiring, her work with people who are seriously ill to use the labyrinth as a powerful healing tool. Ms. West obviously lives life from a very deep place, and writes about the labyrinth from that place as well. Guaranteed to invite you into new territory with the labyrinth, no matter what your level of experience! A great gift to us all.

If you want to explore all the many ways of working with a labyrinth, this is the best book available. I'm a veteran labyrinth walker, and I've learned ways to use the labyrinth I've never known about. I particularly liked the chapters on creativity, inspiration, and healing

I am a longtime labyrinth facilitator and know every book out there-very excited to find this one. Particularly recommended are all the creative ways to "explore the labyrinth," and the rituals and celebrations. Highly highly recommended.

With wisdom and intergrity Mellissa reaquaints us with nature and with the vitality of the mystics.We are put in touch with the sacreness that embodies the smallest aspect of creation.With humor and insight we are awaken to the joys of walking the path.You learn that less can really be more and what really matters in our stressed out human hearts. Mellissa Gayle West book inspired me to build a labyrinth facing east out of stone with three foot wide paths.It is near a pond with a mountain veiw and a apple,weeper,maple,cedar and oak trees PEACE

This is one of the finest books I've ever read on practical ways of exploring personal and spiritual growth. Even if you've never walked a labyrinth, read it. Especially if you've walked a labyrinth, READ IT.

I just walked the labyrinth for the first time last weekend. I wanted to know more and my friend gave me this book. It answered all my questions plus much more. I want to go back and walk it a lot with all the suggestions from this book. Reading this book gave me the confidence to explore the labyrinth a lot more. Read it, read it, read it!

VERY WELL WRITTEN FOR THE PERSON WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE LABYRINTH
WOULD RECOMMEND IT AND WILL PLACE IT AT MY LABYRINTH FOR QUIET READING
