We are closely approaching our target goal to purchase a 32 ft. Chartres style labyrinth kit made of concrete pavers. Rotary has volunteered their services and support in making this a community built landmark for Chico. We have set our date for construction for October 2011.</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">We have continued to obtain donations from individuals, businesses, and organizations and recently secured pledges for additional contributions to help us near our funding goal. Take this opportunity to become a part of the labyrinth project through giving a donation. You can participate in the project by donating as little as a $100 for a donor brick.

These patterned circuits offer a place for people to walk, contemplate, or simply reflect. Not to be confused with a maze, a network of interconnecting pathways with dead ends, a labyrinth is based on a circle, the universal symbol for wholeness and unity. Labyrinths are found in many cultures around the world and date back as far as 3500 years ago. Walking a labyrinth involves the creative and the intuitive mind and can be calming and balancing.Chico Community Labyrinth Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12618171373162698776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995237819003964591.post-7216835241666277622009-02-01T11:28:00.000-08:002009-02-25T22:41:54.751-08:00Benefits of a LabyrinthLabyrinths are being built throughout the world in parks and playgrounds, medical facilities, schools, retreat centers, memorial parks, churches, hospice centers, and gardens.
