Dedication

  • The labyrinth is situated so the sunrise will shine down the entrance to the center on the Summer Solstice. 
  • The entrance is located at NE on the compass.  There is a bench at each compass point.  The large arch is North.
  • There are five arches that you pass through on your way to the labyrinth.  Each arch helps to separate the secular from the divine.  We will add two more arches to make seven in all.
  • An Oak tree was planted opposite the entrance of the labyrinth at sunrise to represent the Tree of Life.  Ancient labyrinths frequently had a tree planted in the center of the labyrinth.
  • The dedication song was:

Simple Gifts

'Tis the gift to be simple,  

 'Tis the gift to be free,

'Tis the gift to come down

where we ought to be.

And when we find ourselves

in the place just right,

'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.

 

When true simplicity is gain'd,

To bow and to bend

we shan't be ashamed,

To turn, turn will

be our delight,

'Til by turning, turning,

we come round right.
