Labyrinth in the Woods
Tucked in the quiet woods near the Tom Settlemire Community Garden at Crystal Spring Farm, the Labyrinth in the Woods is a welcoming, natural space for meditation, contemplation, and spiritual practice. Open to all, the labyrinth offers a peaceful path into nature—and into yourself.
What is a Labyrinth?
Walking a labyrinth is an ancient tradition practiced by cultures and religions around the world. Unlike a maze, a labyrinth has no dead ends. A single winding path leads to the center, inviting you to slow down, quiet your mind, and open your heart. Some walk in silence, others in prayer or meditation. However you walk, the journey is yours.
A Shared Vision
For over a decade, Reverend Mary Baard and Susan Fitzgerald of First Parish Church dreamed of creating an outdoor labyrinth but lacked the space. In 2014, while walking the trails at Crystal Spring Farm, Mary realized it was the perfect location—coincidentally, the Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust was also seeking ways to engage new community groups. The partnership between First Parish and the Land Trust brought the vision to life: the Church raised funds and offers programming, while the Land Trust provides the site and ongoing stewardship. Designed and built by local firm Linkel Construction, the Labyrinth now invites visitors to find their own meaning through meditation, prayer, or quiet connection with nature.
Whether you walk the path for healing, focus, prayer, or peace, the Labyrinth in the Woods invites you to pause, breathe, and reconnect.
