Mirrored Baltic Ceremonial Labyrinth
Labyrinths, in their true, non-maze forms, have existed for thousands of years in numerous places around the world. They can serve as symbols and spaces for introspection, mindfulness, and ceremony.
Many labyrinth designs have a single opening and a single path that leads only to the center where you can pause for a moment, then turn around and retrace your steps out. Some designs, like the Baltic Wheel, have a continuous processional flow due to having a separate exit path from the center to a second opening in the outer edge.
The Goronson Farm Ceremonial Labyrinth takes this idea a step further by combining two 4-circuit Baltic paths mirrored on either side of a shared center space. Each half meanders toward and then away from the center before coming together in the ceremonial space.
There are (at least) two ways to walk this design. You can walk it as a full processional labyrinth by going in either the right or left entrance, walking to the center, and then walking the other half. When used for a wedding or other types of ceremony, each person walks half and they meet in the ceremonial space and can exit together from there.
Guest chairs can be set out in a half-circle around the tree to view the ceremony as you exchange your vows. A grassy mound across the drive from the labyrinth is the perfect area for a food & beverage tent set up to entertain guests. This space has wheelchair accessibility to ensure all your guests enjoy the fun.
