What is a Labyrinth?

Labyrinths are ancient designs found in many cultures around the world. A labyrinth is not designed to confuse or bewilder. There are no dead ends, no wrong turns and you cannot get lost in it. All you have to do is put one foot in front of the other and you will be safely guided to the center and back out again.

Our labyrinth is located in the new wing of the Sublette County Library and is designed after the labyrinth on the floor of Chartres Cathedral in France.

How is the labyrinth used? 

People walk the labyrinth for many reasons. Some do it to relax, some as a walking meditation, some just for fun. There is no right or wrong way to walk the labyrinth.

Why here and why Gayle?

Although the Labyrinth was the desire and inspiration of Sublette County Library Director Daphne Platts, she was delighted to support the idea of dedicating it to Gayle and the good work she did in our community. Gayle was an exceptional philanthropist who gave crucial and continuing support to keep innumerable organizations in this town alive and flourishing.

We see this Labyrinth as an extension of Gayle’s work, a place to find peace or comfort, and we are honored to be able to dedicate it to her name.
