About Me
- walking a labyrinth
- Walking a Labyrinth is like accepting an invitation to pray, meditate, contemplate, dream, celebrate or play; a place to find inspiration, satisfy a curiosity, examine metaphor, mythology or simply, a place to explore liminal space: a 'betwixt and between' place. . . Victor W Turner has described liminality as "a fructile chaos, a storehouse of possibilities, not a random assemblage but a striving after new forms and structures, a gestation process." Labyrinths are drawn on the foreshore, betwixt the nearshore and the backshore, between the low and high water marks to present liminal space as a physical location. Labyrinths may also be drawn during liminal time: dusk or dawn and/or solstice or equinox. The flags surrounding the labyrinth are used for a couple reasons: first they help people find the labyrinth at Spanish Banks. Next, they are used to create a natural acoustic environment. This auditory experience or sound scape ecology is intended to alter the perception and/or the perspective of visitors while they are walking the labyrinth.
