Labyrinth

Ascension's Labyrinth, built by Bill Rasmussen.

The Ascension labyrinth is a replica of the Chartres Labyrinth, Chartres Cathedral in France. The Chartres Labyrinth was built into the cathedral floor during the Crusades, in 1206, to provide a spiritual journey for those who couldn't make the pilgrimage to Jerusalem.


Walking the labyrinth can be a powerful tool. It can deepen spirituality, help access intuition and creativity or provide a way to connect with your community.

Bishop McGrath and Bill Rasmussen


As you start, release your problems and worries. Seek guidance on some life issue or merely enter with an open mind.

The center is typically a place of prayer and meditation that helps bring clarity about your life.

Walk in quiet solemnity and please wear low heel or flat shoes.

Amid life's twists and turns,
the ancient practice of walking labyrinths is a way to regroup,
recharge and reconnect with God.
