Geocache Description:

The entrance of the labyrinth. The first of a series of caches that will take you to five different labyrinths. At each one, take the time to walk the labyrinth. Resist the urge to step over the lines. You find your center the old-fashioned way: you earn it.

Labyrinths are not mazes. They are not intended to confuse you and get you lost, but to provide focus and get you to the center. There is only one way in and no dead ends or false paths. They are metaphors for the search for the central meaning of our lives. They teach us to follow the complicated path of our life to its logical end without deviating. They have been used for at least five millennia for group ritual and personal meditation.

To find this cache, you will have to visit the first two labyrinths in the series.

The listed coordinates will bring you to Geneva Terrace. It is in the seven-circuit Chartres style, patterned after a turf labyrinth in Great Britain. After you walk it, note:

A. The number of omegas in the area near the labyrinth.
B. The number of benches on the terrace (excluding the porch).
From there, go to the Spirit Walk Labyrinth. It is in the Cretan or Classical style, and features a grassy path outlined by brick. After you walk it, note:
C. The number of benches.

Once you collect this information, go to North 37° 58.1[A+C][A+C], West 122° 34.0B[A+C]. Note that no multiplication is involved. The nearby micro will provide the information you need to continue your journey to the next stage of the series. Please use appropriate stealth and remember that there is no need to disturb any landscaping. Then go on to visit:

As you might have guessed, Lab E Rinth is the unholy alliance of BriC and Erickson. This series is a replacement and enhancement of a very old two-part multi called Spiritual Spirals by Big Doggie and Li’l Pup (GCC701), archived more than two years ago. As it was BriC’s fourth find, it has sentimental value for him. He and Erickson found other labyrinths while hiking in the area and thought the series deserved to be revived and expanded.

The world-wide locator has listings for labyrinths throughout the Bay Area. There is an indooor one at Duncan Hall in the First Presbyterian Church of San Anselmo (72 Kensington Drive). The hours that it is open may vary.
