You can feel the difference

Update August 2024

My dear friend David Jones of Oneway UK, co-designer of the labyrinth spheres, suddenly passed away in April at the age of 34. It’s been a time of deep sadness, personal loss, and grief, which has had a tremendous impact on me and the production of finger labyrinths and labyrinth spheres.

History of the Labyrinth Spheres

I wanted to be able to walk a finger labyrinth by touch, keeping it in my pocket when praying, meditating, or practising mindfulness. I didn’t want to use plastic, but research discovered a natural organic plant polymer that is ecologically much friendlier than plastic, renewable, and biodegradable, made from corn starch, sugar cane, and similar plants.

A few samples were printed, and I used, prayed, and played with the labyrinth sphere 2020-2021

I rediscovered that praying by touch is a powerful way to experience prayer. I used my hands to navigate the path to the centre and the ends, feeling the texture of the sphere.

The labyrinth prayer spheres are of exceptional quality, with fine details and a tactile, kinaesthetic design that feels comforting in both the hands and the heart.

It takes about 20 hours to print each sphere individually.

The finger labyrinths and Labyrinth Spheres are assembled with care and come with prayers and meditations. Each purchase supports donations of finger labyrinths to various facilities. They are printed ethically in the UK using eco-friendly materials.
