Pilgrim Labyrinth

In Kansas City's Brookside area, the Pilgrim Labyrinth is a permanent community walk kept open by the Pilgrim Center, a program labyrinth in the city's neighborhood fabric. The Labyrinth Locator's record lists it as a medieval-style 3-circuit path; installed May 2017.

Every labyrinth is a walking practice, not a puzzle: a single path winds to a center and back out, and the walk is done slowly, as prayer or meditation. The pattern descends from the medieval pavement labyrinth at Chartres, and the modern urban revival began in the 1990s when Lauren Artress brought replicas of that path to American congregations and public grounds through Veriditas and the Labyrinth Society, whose World-Wide Labyrinth Locator now catalogs thousands. There is no branching and no trick to the path; walkers of every religion and none use it.
