Labyrinths and Liminality: 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.

Labyrinth Event: Sunday, February 6, 2011 between 1 and 4 pm, at Spanish Banks, Vancouver, British Columbia - Weather permitting.
The labyrinth will be located between the East and West Spanish Banks Cafes, on the foreshore, or below the sandy part of the beach. For directions to the labyrinth see the blog post dated SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 2010; or Google: Spanish Banks, Vancouver BC map.
Consider wearing rubber boots because tide pools are cold this time of the year and, most likely, the labyrinth location will require crossing shallow water.
Most important, the weather on February 6th will determine if this event occurs, so please check back the morning of the 'walk' for confirmation.

- 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.
