Concentric

Example: Otfrid's Labyrinth

Definition:  A concentric labyrinths is one where all paths are circular and concentric and thus there is no cross in the middle.

The Ceremonial Labyrinth is a simple three-circuit pattern designed by Helen Curry for rituals and ceremonies.  It has extra wide pathways so a couple can walk together and a large center . Like most labyrinth creations it "just came to her." It is a copyrighted design that may not be reproduced or used by others without her permission.
