Directions to the Spanish Banks Labyrinth location








These pictures are of the location I use to draw at Spanish Banks. Please refer to them when reading the directions below. You may also wish to Google "Spanish Banks, Vancouver BC map" for a map.

From 4th Avenue, turn right onto and follow North West Marine Drive, past Locarno Beach Cafe, until you reach the Spanish Banks East Cafe. Walk to the circular patio overlooking the beach, in front of the Spanish Banks East Cafe. Facing the water (with the cafe at your back) look to your left, in the distance, for a line of rocks that extends from the dry, sandy part of the beach down to the wet sand. Walk from the patio to the end of the line of rocks and look for a path made in the wet sand, with a rake, that leads away from that location. Follow the path to the 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.
