A new labyrinth in Chattanooga

Last week I learned about this newly constructed labyrinth at the Lookout Mountain Conservancy property up on Old Wauhatchie Pike.


On Saturday, after Bamboo Encounter, Riley and I decided to try to find it.  We did.  And so much more.

A pollinator garden.



Lots of boulders for bouldering.





Trails.



A FANTASTIC view of the river and downtown.





Students from Howard High School working on the grounds, along with Robyn Carlton of the Conservancy.

An area for a fire (though it hasn't cooled off enough for that yet).


An area they use for outdoor music.

We saw a few people up there getting ready to boulder, with their crash pads.

If you're not familiar with Lookout Mountain Conservancy, click on the link the first time they are mentioned at the top of this blog.  Want to volunteer?  They have a FALL WORK DAY coming up on November 2nd.   If you can't make that, there are other opportunities to volunteer.

If you're not familiar with labyrinths, check out The Labyrinth Society, an international organization whose mission is to support all those who create, maintain and use labyrinths, and to serve the global community by providing education, networking, and opportunities to experience transformation.

It was great to find the labyrinth, all the other great finds, and to see Robyn.  I enjoyed the opportunity to walk and pray the labyrinth.  I look forward to returning there, as it isn't far from the office.

Peace in your journey,

Debra

  1. Thanks for all the great photos. I enjoyed this online "tour" of the place, though I'm not there to walk the actual labyrinth.
