Your guide will share the story of how local artist and stonecutter Jeffrey Bale hand-laid thousands of stones to create this beautiful circular labyrinth, inspired by ancient walking meditations found in European cathedrals. As you slowly walk its spiral path, you’ll feel the calming rhythm of each step surrounded by moss, ferns, and filtered forest light.
