VORTICES, LABYRINTH, MEDICINE WHEEL
VORTICES
One of the most unique aspects of Joshua Tree Retreat Center are its documented vortices. A vortex is a heightened, whirling energy flow that is naturally occuring. The existence of these vortices are why the site was selected in the 1940’s by famed spiritualist and breathwork expert Ding Le Mei for his center of learning which he named the Institute of Mentalphysics. Your visit is not complete without experiencing vortex energy.
CLASSICAL SEVEN CIRCUIT LABYRINTH
Walking the labyrinth is said to balance activity between right and left brain waves. It is also a form of walking meditation.
The classic Seven Circuit Labyrinth design can be found on every continent pre-dating recorded history. Our Labyrinth was constructed in early 2000 and the chosen site is an energy vortex.
