Gantz Labyrinth

Labyrinths are an ancient meditation tool that have been used throughout the world for more than 4,000 years. Unlike a maze, the circular paths have one entrance point that leads to its center with no deadends. The classic 11-circuit labyrinth design was first laid on the floor of the Chartres Cathedral in northern France in 1201. The Chartres labyrinth is made up of 11 concentric circles connected by 34 turns, 28 of which are 180-degree switch-backs. The rosette in the center has six petals and is often a stopping point for users to stand, sit or kneel and reflect. The circular paths have one entrance point that leads to its center with no dead-ends. Constructed in 2010, the labyrinth is surrounded by an herbal grove including American Beech, Sweet Bay Magnolia and Sassafras.
