Casa Uno – Labyrinth Number 26 – Camino del Artista (Part 3)

With the design created for the Labyrinth, it was now time to focus on the building process.  The first step was to trace the pattern on the ground.  We had already decided that the path would be outlined with red bricks, so the same day that the tracing happened, the red bricks were delivered!  A team of three men came to help with the tracing and moving of the bricks.  Ronald Esquivel, the designer, was here for the tracing and supervised work for the next two days.  The rest of the week the men were here on their own working a full day to place each brick where it needed to be and to regularly check the measurements.  Slowly I could see the path developing.  I regularly took pictures of the process.

In the next blog I’ll share the opening celebration and thoughts on regularly walking the labyrinth.

  1. Joanne –
    Most of us have seen and “walked” in these remarkable paths — but who would think about making a labyrinth in one’s backyard? YOU! A wonderful idea, Joanne; thanks for sending us pictures and letting us (sort of) take part in the process.
    Love,
    Ellie

    1. Oh Ellie, it has been a wonderful journey creating and building it in the garden and now I am
      enjoying walking daily! And of course welcoming others to walk it too!

    1. Yes Maxine it has been an exciting process and now I am enjoying walking it each day! With all the curves and turns it is very
      good for balance as well as the meditative process!
