How To Build A 7 Circuit Chartres Brick Turf Labyrinth / Troop 225 Eagle Project

How To Build A 7 Circuit Labyrinth / Chartres Style Brick Composition Turf Style (Kevin's Troop 225 Eagle Scout Project). This project was completed late February 2021 at Unity Church in St. Johns FL What is a Labyrinth? A labyrinth is a meandering path, often unicursal, with a singular path leading to a center. Labyrinths are an ancient archetype dating back 4,000 years or more, used symbolically, as a walking meditation, choreographed dance, or site of rituals and ceremony, among other things. Labyrinths are tools for personal, psychological and spiritual transformation, also thought to enhance right-brain activity. Labyrinths evoke metaphor, sacred geometry, spiritual pilgrimage, religious practice, mindfulness, environmental art, and community building. Labyrinths are named by type and can be further identified by their number of circuits. Counting from the center, the drawing at right illustrates a seven circuit design. You begin a labyrinth walk at the entrance and proceed along the path. Lines define the path and often maintain a consistent width, even around the turns. Generally at the center you have traveled half the distance, where it is common to pause, turn around, and walk back out again.
