Welcome to our community labyrinth.
Imagine wandering on a path towards the woods and coming across a quiet open space, encircled by trees and flanked by a river. In the center of the space are stones outlining a spiraling path that invites you to follow it. The path meanders – you can’t quite see where it goes back and forth, except that it reaches the center of a circle. You pause, taking it in with all your senses. You decide to walk in…
KCT’s community labyrinth is a special space that offers a chance to enjoy and connect to these beautiful lands in a different way. The circling path is laid out in an ancient geometric pattern discovered on sites around the world dating back thousands of years. All are welcome here to pause, to wonder, to connect, to contemplate. You are invited to walk it in your own way, at your own pace; we ask only that you are mindful of others and respect it as you would any other sacred space.
The labyrinth was built with stones donated by community members in honor of their loved ones and was designed to be as accessible as possible. It contains a rock from each piece of land stewarded by KCT and includes the ‘Jerusalem peace stone’ chosen by a group of Arab and Israeli young people who visited here together on a Forever Friends program. This stone, imbued with symbolism by the group, is laid on the East axis; tall stones also mark True North and West. Each year from Kennebunkport Christmas Prelude through January 6 it is illuminated with solar lights after dusk. A book is provided near the entrance to share your reflections should you wish.
