Zweck Labyrinth Resources

The following powerpoint resources were developed by the late Pastor Rick Zweck who was instrumental in bringing labyrinths into prominence in Lutheran Schools across Australia. Rick was passionate about Christian meditation, pilgrimage and walking the labyrinth. Rick successfully embedded the labyrinth into the culture of Pacific Lutheran College. The Zweck family have kindly given their permission for these resources to be posted publicly so that the good work which Rick undertook can continue to grow and bless others.

These two articles below were also written by Rick Zweck for the Australian Labyrinth Network's Newsletter "Labyrinths Matter". ​The articles deal with how the labyrinth was embedded into the culture of Pacific Lutheran College. Thanks to Rick's pioneering work, students and staff at Pacific know that the labyrinth is an important part of our college's spirituality and practice. Thanks to Lorraine Rodda from the Interim Management Group of the Australian Labyrinth Network for permission to post these articles.

Each year at my school the Year 12s as part of their final week of activities undertake a labyrinth walk. This walk focuses on the start of their transition from secondary school to post-school life.  A simple action that is done to ritualise this transition is for the students to take a leaf, stone or stick and place on it any thoughts, actions, or experiences they want to leave behind in the labyrinth.  As they leave school they are invited to leave that thing in the centre of the labyrinth - to place it in God’s hands!  Included here is also a reflection paper for students to process their walk.

​Labyrinth Creation

This you tube clip is a good example of how easily a temporary labyrinth can be set up on a carpeted open space. The labyrinth creator is Lars Howlett and the device he is using is a packing tape dispenser which he has attached to a long handle.





​Conflict Resolution

This video shows how a labyrinth can be used to help students problem solve breakdowns in relationships. The steps are state the problem, state your feelings, state the other person's feelings, state the problem, brainstorm ideas, and choose the best idea. The process and pattern for this labyrinth has been created by Lisa Gidlow Moriarty of Stillwater Minnesota.
