What is a Labyrinth?   A Simple Definition

The original 800 year-old pattern for this eleven circuit labyrinth is in Chartres Cathedral in France.  2001 marked the 1000 anniversary of Chartres Cathedral.

Redsun Labyrinth was dedicated to "All Those on the Journey" on the Summer Solstice, June 21, 2000.  Dedication

This labyrinth pattern is also in the Grace Cathedral in San Francisco.

The labyrinth is 108' in diameter which makes it one of the largest in the United States. 

The berm around the labyrinth is 120' in diameter, 3' high and topped with cottonwood logs.  173 lavender plants encircle the inside of the base.

Approximately 25 tons of fieldstones were used to make the pattern.

This ancient sacred tool is used as a walking meditation. The total walk in and out is 4/5 of a mile. 

At this time the labyrinth is always open unless a special event is scheduled.   Just be sure to close all the gates so the deer will not nibble the plants.

Bring a stone to leave within the pattern to commemorate your walk or use one of the white stones that are provided near the entrance.

There is no right or wrong way to walk a labyrinth.  Do what feels natural for you.

Consider everything that happens on the labyrinth a metaphor for your life.  

"The soul never thinks without an image."  Aristotle

Please do not bring pets to the labyrinth.
