Global harmony labyrinth design

Global Harmony Labyrinth

An original design was requested because the spirit of the project involved healing the pain from the bombing of Nagasaki. The creation of the newlabyrinth was thought to be important as a mark of our reaching out to another culture with differing history, religious traditions and life outlooks, a fresh gesture of abiding friendship, a blend of East - West sensibilities.

A plaque at the labyrinth's center reads “Global Harmony Labyrinth, Dedicated August 21st in recognition of the 50th Anniversary of the Saint Paul / Nagasaki Sister City relationship, in memory of Karen S. Kunzman. She had a Japanese Heart”.

Please visit and enjoy the labyrinth. Directions to the labyrinth:

  1. Take Lexington Parkway to Nason Place.

  2. Go West on Nason Place toward the Conservatory. (See the bottom map on this page).

  3. Take the first right into the Butterfly Lot.

  4. Park toward the far East end if possible. Walk across the cul-de-sac, and follow the path to the Labyrinth.

The refurbishing of the Global Harmony Labyrinth in Saint Paul is being underwritten by a generous grant from the Grotto Foundation (2015).
