About
Welcome to the Trinity labyrinth. A labyrinth is a winding path used for meditation. It is not a maze whose intent is to trick and trap. A labyrinth has one path to the center and back out. It can be used to settle into one thought, to keep one’s body occupied while the mind is free to pray, chant, think. It’s similar to patting your head and rubbing your stomach: walking a path that you can’t get lost on allows you to keep your body “busy” leaving your mind to be free to think.
Our labyrinth was built by Trinity member Cameron Petti for his Eagle project. It was built in two days by a group of over 40 people. Ruth Anne and Charles Wilcox, also members of Trinity, donated the bricks. The labyrinth is designed for people of all abilities to walk on the grass, between the bricks. It is located on the front yard of the church facing West Street so anyone passing by can use it. It is near the columbarium (where people who died are remembered) so if someone wants to think and pray, it’s always open. The labyrinth is small and simple – so it doesn’t take a lot of time to walk, but you can walk around it more than once. It’s form is called either “Cretan” or “Classic” and has 3 loops or “circuits”. Instructions for walking are available in the box adjacent to the labyrinth near the building. Follow the path by entering the labyrinth from the church sidewalk near the lampost with the labyrinth sign. Walk on the grass between the brick outline. Take your time and enjoy your walk
