Mind, Body and Spirit
Our Labyrinth
Our enchanting Chartres-style labyrinth is a major attraction for every guest who visits R’new.
A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that represents wholeness and is a metaphor for life’s journey.
The labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral in France dates back to 1205, when monks used it for prayer and meditation. It is one of the world’s best-known labyrinths. Our R’new labyrinth follows the same mesmerising design.
Our labyrinth is a feast of fragrances and colours, featuring rows of thyme, oregano, catmint, lavender, rosemary, echinacea, fennel and many other herbs, as well as rose bushes and grape vines. Fruit trees line the labyrinth border. It has been proven that walking a labyrinth calms one’s nerves.
The labyrinth is open to day visitors on the last Sunday of every month.
