The Labyrinth
The Homestead 1854's labyrinth is a 5-circuit paved path surrounded by a hedge maze, designed by Jeff Seward of Labyrinthos and constructed by Marty Kermeen of Labyrinths in Stone. Dating back over 4,000 years, labyrinths have a long association with spirituality, ritual, and sacred dance. The pressures and demands of modern society and our need for deeper meaning in our lives have led to a resurgence in interest in this ancient form, used now as part of meditative contemplative practices.
