I will not be holding labyrinth events in or around Vancouver until I return. My timeline may keep me away until the middle of March 2011.
I wish the labyrinth enthusiast of Vancouver health and happiness on their paths.

Liminal time in Liminal space: dusk on the Foreshore at Sunset Beach, English Bay, Vancouver BC today.
. . . a photograph of the labyrinth walk today.
Dusk, sundown or twilight; the time 'betwixt and between' day and night: Liminal time.
The Foreshore on Sunset Beach; 'betwixt and between' the Nearshore and Backshore of Sunset Beach: Liminal space.
Intriguing aspects of the walk: a white, long stem, rose found beside the labyrinth which was not present before the labyrinth was drawn; a heart and the word 'Joy' found painted on rocks beside the labyrinth; and, a delivery person appearing and asking us if we ordered a pizza.
Liminality: a place to choose the chaos of the unconsciousness over the control of explanations and answers.
Labyrinth Event: Today, Saturday, December 11, 2010
This walk will happen during sunset which is approximately 4:00 pm, at Sunset Beach, in English Bay. See November 29 Blog entry for directions.

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.
