Honolulu, HI - No wild pigs in sight

My quest for labyrinths usually yields one of two options – I either find one that is walkable and intact, or it is entirely not there anymore, whether paved or mowed over, or pulled up, or otherwise defunct. Rarely do I find much in between. The labyrinth at the St. Anthony Retreat Center about 15 minutes outside of Honolulu, Hawaii, probably falls in that middle ground. It is operated by the Sisters of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, who were kind enough to let me visit. It was a snake-like rock pattern that wrapped around a tree and sort of meandered through a wooded area. I say ‘sort of’ because it was unclear where it started or ended. It wasn’t a traditional circular pattern. My hopes were high based on communication I had with the center prior to my visit, and then arriving and finding a large parking area and a “Labyrinth” sign, which usually bodes well. And this was the first labyrinth I was seeking out on a recent visit to Oahu, the most populated of the Hawaiian islands. Part of the waiver form I had to sign for this visit included being aware of the threat of wild pigs, so maybe their presence has been destructive over the years.
