And she asked a couple of questions I hadn't thought to address previously.
Do you want people to “check in” with you first?
This isn't necessary. It is my habit to ignore people who are in the labyrinth and to avoid coming outside if I see that it is in use. I want it to be a contemplative experience that isn't disturbed by me any more than I can help. If you want to say "hello" or need a drink of water after you have walked it, you are welcome to knock. If you are in a zone and want to stay quiet, I completely understand that and am not offended by your leaving without speaking.
If you come at night, (it is lighted with little solar lights at each turn) it's a good idea to let us know you are here, just so you don't catch me wandering around in my PJs.
Do you prefer folks use the yard gate opposite the driveway gate?
The gate at the end of the driveway is more convenient than the one on the far side of the house and I'm comfortable with you using either one. The little gate was put in to make yard work easier; it doesn't get much action otherwise.
Any preferred parking area?
Parking along the driveway is fine. When we have people over, we tend to slot the cars between the trees so anyone that wants to get out can do so easily.
Another thought that occurred to us was How long can we stay?
As long as it takes. We have benches by the trees to facilitate pre- and post-walk contemplation. Sit as long as you need to in order to get the best benefit from the space.
