Building a Chartres Style Labyrinth

Labyrinths are truly one my most favorite spiritual exercises to both create and participate in. There are many websites out there that will teach you how to build a traditional prayer path that is a simple pathway to a center point and back.

However, I needed a labyrinth design that allowed room for interactive stations to be placed along the path. Group Publishing has a design that allows for this, but it was often too big for the rooms I used. So I created a new design based on the 800 year old labyrinth found in the Chartres Cathedral in France.
I designed this labyrinth as a square instead of a circle so that it would be easier to construct and built in space for nine stations. Click here for for instructions on how to make it.
