My Pilgrimage to the Chartres Cathedral Labyrinth

Does personal transformation lead to the labyrinth or do labyrinths lead to personal transformation? In May of 2011, I was done with my life as I knew it, so I packed up all my belongings and stuffed them into storage. That Monday I quit my job as a photojournalist for the weekly newspaper. Tuesday I taught my last day of classes as a part-time photography professor. Wednesday I turned in my ke...

So helpful thank you so much!
This is fabulous! If I wanted a path of about 18” wide, what would you suggest for a central object? Thank you for making this process so doable!
This is wonderful thank you❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing!
Nice! I'm planning a labyrinth for my driveway parking pad. Can't wait! It would be nice to see more labyrinths in public spaces. I've only found a few in the southern united states thus far.
Gracias, amigo,,,,
I have been trying to figure out how meanders translate into an enclosed labyrinth. Can you point me to any resources?
Thank you for sharing your beautiful and very moving story, Lars. Pilgrimage of life. So inspiring.
What a wealth of info, your stories so enjoyable. ❤ Thanks for sharing
Voy a intentar hace lo que muestras. Gracias....
That is so cool! How can I make one of those?
Wondering too!
What an absolutely delicious story. And so well told too. I've loved labyrinths for many years, have created them spontaneously on the beach. Always the Ancient Labyrinth, or Cretan Labyrinth, 7-circuit. We have a small one in our back yard. Used to be 7-circuit, but we needed a bit more walking around room and converted it to a 5-circuit. It's still a lovely little walk with a bench in a chamomile patch in the center. Worth doing. I've discovered the labyrinth in the East Bay of San Francisco, down in the bottom of an old quarry east of Oakland. That's a wonderful labyrinth too. Richard Feather Anderson was my labyrinth guru. -- Barbara Clark
Oh yes, the ancient churches.. That gravel-sketched labyrinth is cool. I fluted in one, roofless, church ruins, more simple than St Lars but wth a similar energy, and as many other churches as I could.. They are yet more beautiful Gotland Island offerings.. What a special place it is!
Oh, cool.. Thank you so much for letting me revisit some of my favourite Gotland labyrinths through this video. We intentionally visited Gotland Island after I relied heavily on Jeff Saward's and Sig Lonegren's wonderful labyrinth books to create our own (Nunkeri labyrinth, created in NSW Australia in 2008 and included on the World Labyrinth Locator site). Visby Museum is sooooooo worth visiting.. Absolutely gut wrenching listening to and watching the history-based footage of the attack on Visby and the story behind it, and very cool stone carving pieces. We loved so many of Gotland Island's amazing labyrinths.. Frujel was one, bshame about the water pump squeezing the space.. the very sweet 1970s one along a coastal path that felt almost like our own, same cretan 7 circuit, I think, and the very ancient one near a church and lost under prickly dry grass.. There was one I can't find online, which was a beautiful stone and turf labyrinth along a road but down below road level in its own forest glade and another near the coast and quietly sited along the driveway to the coast.. Just beautiful.. So, so many, absolutely wonderful energy labyrinths.. What a beautiful journey your pilgrims will enjoy. Many blessings to you all! 🙏
What a beautiful grace from your pilgrimage. Your story is so inspiring, you are really blessed, thank you so much for sharing this journey ♥️
wow! I got here from Robert Ferre's website... thank you for all you do! Greetings from Italy.
Brilliant, thank you so much :)
In Christian Europe the spirit of initiation was kept alive throughout the Dark Ages and the medieval period by several initiatory orders of people who the church even today, described as illiterate workmen. Illiterate workmen my backside! they were highly skilled people, these were the craft masons who built the glories of Chartres Cathedral, who built Cologne Cathedral, who built Amien, and who built every major church building in Europe. They had no architects, they worked as teams, now Chartres Cathedral was built in the unbelievable time of 30 years. It was built by five separate craft masonic teams, all working seemingly independent of one another, to it well enough there is no existing overall plan for the place and yet the whole thing comes together as a harmonious whole which baffles description. It enhances the powerful earth energies that are already there, it is acoustically perfect and it is a place of incredible beauty. Now these craft mason's were divided into four main groups, they are known today collectively as The Compagnonnage, and they were the Compagnons Passant who built bridges, made road structures and built castles. The Children of Maitre Soubise who mainly worked in the romanesque style with rounded arches, thick walled buildings, that couldn't rise very high because of the structural problems with them. Then there were the Children of Solomon, and this is a very disputed group. It's very difficult to discern whether they actually were part of the Templar order or were they merely affiliated to them or were they employed by them. The Templar certainly gave them their rule. They built in the new style that the Templars had brought back the secret from the holy land, how to build with the pointed arch. They got that from their Sufi brethren in Jerusalem, and the first pointed arches that the Templars commissioned are still there to this day on Temple Mount. They were replicated at Chartres Cathedral in France.
I love this!❤❤
My technique, and it's probably not original is a modification of what is taught to children. Inhale "1, 2." Pause "1, 2." Exhale "1,2,3,4." moving my finger while I exhale. Pause "1, 2." My finger only moves when I exhale, and my only focus is the count. If I'm distracted by the "monkey mind," I simply return to the count. I choose to extend my exhale simply to fully clear my lungs. Moving only during the exhale gives me two pauses and an inhale slowing down my journey.
Thank you, I love the clarity of your explanation 🙏
Loved this so much! Thank you thank youn❤
Здравствуйте, ваши и другие лабиринты приносят людям умиротворение, самопознание и благодать. Привет вам из Сибири. Добра и благополучия.
Beautiful teaching Lars, thank you 🙏
🙏🇨🇴😘👏🏼
Thank you!
How do you go from your drawing to laying the pattern out on the ground?
Yaayy! I'm so excited to have found your channel! As an artist, currently renting part of a out of use church as my workspace, I'm thinking of creating a labyrinth in the space where services were held. This helps a lot for preparing this plan! (This one, and the 5 circuit Chartres style how to vid). Thank you for sharing!
Interesting.
Ahh Patagonia que lindo! adriana
I want to do this on floor of new addition before laying the floor. Looks great on graph paper. Thanks!
WOW! I would totally love to do this trip, maybe next year or after, since this year's budget is already spoken for, going to Scotland. Sweden has been on my wish list, especially with all the ancient labyrinths. I'm going to think about this one and see if I can work something out.
It looks wonderful! I signed up for your online Veriditas class on rivers at the end of January and I can't wait. ❤❤❤
super! glad you can join us
Wow the perfect trip! Lovely. I'm sure it will be fantastic. I live in Europe so will have to stick to my beach drawing! Which is no bad thing.
thanks @sk8a ! I'll be in Europe twice this summer... first in Sweden leading a tour of labyrinths in June and then again in Chartres in September on pilgrimage with Veriditas. You can find me here: discoverlabyrinths.com/events
Can I ask what you used to dispense the tape other than a usual dispenser?
Thanks, Lars!
❤
Making this in a 13th century abandoned chapel w chalk, about 150 miles south of Charles, with chalk for Day of the Dead. Thanks soooooo much!
That was so much fun. I love what you do.
Many thanks for this. I am using your help to create an tiny egg-shaped garden labyrynth. Much love from South Afrika.
I am waiting with the interview with the Rabbi explaining his knowledge. Thank you
What compass are you using in this video?
Lovely intro, Lars. Please , would you tell me how you did the part of the video from above, of your finger walking the labyrinth?
It’s said that you should walk the labyrinth while thinking and reflecting. I see the similarities to walking the labyrinth and what it’s like as our thoughts in our mind become convoluted.
Such a great story of following the magical thread. I read Walking a Sacred Path the year the book was published and walked her floor banner labyrinth at International Transpersonal Association Conference. A friend wanted to do a full moon group walk and invited me to drum and sing while people walked it. Two weeks later a woman organizing a peace conference invited me to offer a labyrinth walking workshop with the frame drum. 2021 I visited a potential property to live on. It had a labyrinth and walked to the center, attuned to the land and the labyrinth said, "You are going to walk this everyday" in my mind I said, I don't have time to do that and hey I didn't say I was moving here I need 3 signs. I did move there and walked it everyday from March - Aug. then weekly, then when needed and have walked it almost 200 times. Much healing happened. A release song came through too. ruclips.net/video/gHYhGfXOjq4/видео.html .:.
How interesting!
