Labyrinth Revisited

A few years ago, Librarian Mark Graceffo did an amazing job creating a stone labyrinth in the back yard, for the purpose of mindful walking and meditation. Over time, Nature took its toll: weeds proliferated, stones fell out of place, and the tree stump seats began rotting. We on the garden committee decided that we could breathe new life into the labyrinth by adding groundcover which would not only hlep delineate the walking spaces, but also keep weeds down in the future. Thanks SO much to Anna, Daisy, Tasheeda, Noel and Paul for their hard work in the hot weather.

...AND AFTER:


In the near future, an Asian-inspired bench and Buddha statue will be incorporated into the arrangement, as well as flowering bushes behind, along the wall of the Rec Center. The entire lawn will also be re-seeded, so things are looking up and up! We hope to offer guided meditation sessions at the labyrinth and to incorporate its use into outdoor yoga classes too.
