Labyrinth
An outdoor sacred space that is conducive to worship, prayer and meditation is now available on campus. Envisioned by CEO Carol Berster, conceptualized by Chaplain Doug Graham and CEO Carol Berster, designed by Lori Young of American Beauty Landscapes, planned by Director of Facilities Management, Paul Grebb, constructed and planted by Chad C&S Landscaping, decorated by Mixed Media Artist, Danielle Callahan, this space has been created at the far corner of our campus at the end of a path directly opposite of the Maplewood
Accessibility:
Hours - Dawn through 8:00 p.m. daily
Wheel Chair Accessibility - Originally this labyrinth was going to be wheel chair accessible, but for numerous reasons we were not able to follow through with those plans. An indoor wheelchair accessible labyrinth is now being planned for the Orchid Terrace Room.
