| 1. Have a plan. We chose 7 circuits. (5 and 11 are common too.) The paths are 30 inches wide, around a 10-foot diameter center. |
|
| 2. Select a site. We chose a flat area set back from the road that had both sunlight and shade, plus a view. Nearby was a little waterfall and bridge. |
|
|
| 3. Establish the center. Use a string as a compass to mark the circles. We put a piece of tape on the string every 30 inches. The center rocks were eventually removed. |
| 4. Lay down weed cloth. The 24 outer triangles were an afterthought, added to use up the small rocks. They increased the overall diameter to 50 feet. |

5. Bring in rock. This labyrinth took 10 tons of gravel and 12 tons of river rock. The gravel was spread first, and then the rock was trucked in.
|
|
| 6. Have a work party. Pam’s family, here for a reunion, cheerfully pitched in. Simba evidently thought he was helping too. |
|
|
7. The completed labyrinth. A previously unused part of the property is now a sacred space for refuge and reflection.
