The 2025 Annual Women's Walking Pilgrimage Paris to Chartres is almost full. Only one space remains. Do you feel the call to spiritual pilgrimage? (Think private candlelight cathedral labyrinth walk with a circle of only eight women!)

Silence on FB usually means I'm too busy to post.
Here is a photo of a 36ft canvas labyrinth that was made for a Mennonite Community in Oregon. The labyrinth is made in 3 sections, connected by Velcro, and the sections are not connected in this photo as I'm preparing the labyrinth for shipping.

Prior to beginning the annual women’s walking pilgrimage to Chartres, France, I was invited to Villefranche-sur-Mer on the French Riviera to paint a labyrinth on a rooftop patio.

Over dinner the evening before the conversation included a decision on what labyrinth design to use. Originally I had suggested a 3-circuit option for the petite 3 meter wide space. As we conversed, the villa owner became interested instead on my dual path Harmony/Conflict Resolution pattern. This is what was ultimately chosen.

I created this 21ft portable labyrinth for dual purposes. It can be used as a cover to protect the newly painted floor labyrinth I installed at the cathedral in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, when that transept space is needed for musicians and chairs. The portable labyrinth can also be used by members of the local labyrinth community to offer labyrinth walks and events at other locations around the city.

It is always a delight when a rental customer shares a photo of one of my labyrinths set up in their location. Thank you, Grace Lutheran Church, Cambridge, WI.

Long day of labyrinth building today with a group of volunteers at Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House in Barrington, Illinois. We constructed a 9-circuit Chartres variation embedding pavers into the existing turf. The labyrinth sits on a knoll and in anchored by old oak trees aligned at each quadrant turn. Bird song, butterflies, whitetail deer, and bunnies accompanied us as we worked. We love volunteer projects! We bring all tools, instruction and supervision and a fun day of creativity is enjoyed by all.

We completed the labyrinth for a private residence in St. Peter, MN. This petite 22ft diameter, 5-circuit round Classical labyrinth fits snuggly in a gorgeous garden surround that was just waiting for a labyrinth! Flowers, dragonflies, and butterflies were welcome companions as we worked, unlike the mosquitoes and gnats that are apparently in excess due to the recent flooding of the nearby Minnesota River. The heat and humidity also challenged the project.
The steeple of the Gustavus Adolphus College chapel is visible from the labyrinth and the chapel bells can be heard ringing.

Our process:
The site is dowsed and the orientation determined.
We carefully measure and lay the pavers in the precise locations.
We work in tandem cutting the turf with edgers on two sides of the paver, breaking the roots.
The pavers are then set aside while long 6-8ft snakes of turf are removed.
Sand is added to the newly made trenches before the pavers are permanently set.
Minimal paver cutting was required with this pattern. We completed in 15 hours, just myself and partner Denny.
