Description
I first experienced the labyrinth in May 1993 when author Canon Lauren Artress brought her canvas Chartres style labyrinth to the Church of the Nativity, Indianapolis for a workshop. The Nativity sanctuary was still under construction, full of debris and had no electricity. We scrambled to clear the mess and move scaffolding to prepare space for the canvas labyrinth. We found a case of six-day candles to light the way for a candlelight walk. This was the first sacred event in the yet unfinished sanctuary.!
I then joined a committee to start a labyrinth ministry, and managed the construction of Nativity's 35 foot portable Labyrinth. I later talked some friends into helping me build an outdoor labyrinth at Waycross Conference Center. I got 'hooked' on building labyrinths, and have been building them ever since!.
In Fall of 1997 I joined meetings in St. Louis with other labyrinth experts from around the country to share our experiences. These meetings resulted in the birth in Spring 1999 of the Labyrinth Society. (TLS) I am a founding board member and serve as a regional representative for the central U. S.
