The Reflection Labyrinth was created in 2002 by Debi Kermeen and her husband, Marty, owners of Labyrinths in Stone. Created as a bold new design for the dawn of the new millennium, the 9-circuit Reflection Labyrinth is a powerful metaphor for healing and wholeness in relationships. The Reflection Labyrinth features a dual pathway for two walkers to move simultaneously through the labyrinth’s nine circuits. Along the way, four mirroring paths bring the walkers face to face, allowing them to see their reflection in each other. The two paths join at the sharing space, where the walkers stand together. This unique feature of the Reflection Labyrinth enables the walkers to acknowledge their differences before they trade places and walk in the others’ footsteps. Each walker traverses the other’s half of the labyrinth until the two meet on the shared path leading into the center. The center of the labyrinth is a place of inspiration, reconciliation, imagination,  contemplation, and communication; it is also large enough for ceremonial use, such as weddings and cronings. From the center, walkers may choose to retrace their steps or exit the labyrinth. Suggested Uses
The uses of the labyrinth are limited only by the imagination. A few suggested uses include:
| ª |
|
Individual, couples, and family counseling. Therapists who are looking for innovative and effective ways to promote healing and wholeness in relationships will see dramatic results from the powerful mirroring effects of the Reflection Labyrinth—and their clients will, too. |

|
| ª |
|
Twelve-Step and other recovery programs. The dual pathway provides a perfect metaphor for those who are facing addictions. Addicts, for example, could walk with a substance, a sponsor, a spouse, a friend, a family member, or a new way of seeing. |

Weddings and commitment ceremonies. With its large center, the Reflection Labyrinth provides a unique context for sharing and/or renewing vows. The dual pathway brings two individuals to the shared pathway that leads to union in the center. |
