On of my favorite labyrinths is still walk-able after twenty-five years.
This simple nine-circuit labyrinth, based on a labyrinth design from Bayeaux, France,
was installed in 1997 within a circle of redwoods, just to the West of the Episcopal Church and Grounds in Sonoma, CA.
I have found that labyrinths beneath redwoods require little upkeep. The fallen needles are a natural deterrent of additional plant material emerging in the soil. The simple rocks lining the paths do need to be shifted back into place over time as they have a tendency to move over time because of foot traffic and critters scampering over the labyrinth. And fallen branches and needles need to be removed periodically from the tops of rocks.
This place... is peaceful.
Quiet.
And invites a slowing down
and connecting with the beauty of the path and surroundings.
We hope you have enjoyed this post!
