Sebastopol, CA - A gathering spot

St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Sebastopol features an impressive 11-circuit labyrinth design situated in an expansive area behind the church. This generous space includes thoughtfully designed garden elements and a walking path that complement the labyrinth's contemplative purpose. The 11-circuit pattern is more complex than simpler designs, offering a longer, more involved walking meditation that can deepen the reflective experience. The integration with the surrounding garden creates a cohesive sanctuary where visitors can enjoy multiple aspects of the peaceful grounds. It was pouring rain during my visit but I was able to calmly enjoy the longer walk and the setting just fine.
