Danville Labyrinth Project - Danville, Kentucky

 

The sign in the snow

 

The 5th of December was a day of progress. It was colder but it had stopped snowing. I only took one picture that day...

We were helped by folks from the physical plant at Centre College. David Robertson alerted them. They rolled back the tarps we laid down the day before and swept the slab. Donald Good, grounds superintendant from Centre College was our guardian angel. He kept coming by and checking on us to make sure everything was OK. The  Presbyterian Church of Danville supplied the de-icer and snow shovel!

 

Ahhhh. A clean place to work!

17° Fahrenheit  with a breeze. We thought it was cold the day before! 

Bottom center of this image is a thermos of fresh, hot tea brought to us by the guardian angel of this Labyrinth, Shelley Richardson from The Elmwood Inn Tea Room. http://www.elmwoodinn.com  I've never tasted such excellent tea! Not only did it warm our bodies, it warmed our hearts.

lunation at the entrance

December 6th. 

Robert's lunation cutting is second to none! That ice just won't go away!

Detail of a trefoil in the Rose, intersected by one of the joints between the sandstone blocks.

The sun is out! Our cutting is done!

I got to walk this pattern before I left for Asheville. There is something very grounding about walking on sandstone. If you ever get to Danville, this is one pattern you won't want to miss walking!

Just before Christmas! Chuck Whitehouse and DeeDee finished painting the pattern.

He set up a small tent to keep the painting area warmer and dry.

The finished pattern for the Danville Labyrinth Project The Grace variation is apparent in the wide spaces between the turns. The extra space is supposed to allow people to stand 'off ' the pattern to allow others to pass.

A pure Chartres pattern would have space between the turns as narrow as the wall width.

Pathway of Peace: The Danville Labyrinth Project

Three years ago, a portable labyrinth was created that was used by many in the community. Its availability has been restricted, however, as appropriate indoor space is limited. The Danville Labyrinth Project, Inc. (a not-for-profit corporation) was formed with the goal of placing a permanent labyrinth in the community. Measuring forty two feet in diameter, plans for the labyrinth included a beautiful pattern etched in stone, surrounded by benches and existing trees. The Presbyterian Church of Danville gave permission to build the labyrinth in McDowell Park, adjacent to the churchyard and Centre College. This is an ideal setting, a place of serenity , accessible to all.

This labyrinth belongs to the entire community. The cost of the project will be about $50,000. Landscaping around the Labyrinth is ongoing. We are still accepting donations to help with the Project.
