Equinox Labyrinth: September 15, 2012 from 12pm to 2 pm at Spanish Banks, Vancouver BC.




 "Let's try a dumb experiment."

Autumn Equinox is a liminal time, a time 'betwixt and between' summer and fall: a time to recall, reflect and reframe.

In the natural world, fall is the season to harvest. 

Thus, Autumn Equinox is a time to harvest the productive, to remove the kernel of the truth of our experiences, to challenge the false to drop away and to reframe our future.

Victor W Turner describes liminality as "a storehouse  of possibilities . . ."

For those of you who want to participate in a liminal ritual of harvesting the possibilities at this time in your life, "Let's try a dumb experiment."

By walking a labyrinth and using poetry and mandala building, this ritual is about harvesting ALL that the Universe is offering you.

Donation of $10.00 for this ritual. Please email me with your questions and for further instructions: walkingalabyrinth@gmail.com


Please note: There will be no charge for walking the labyrinth and not participating in this ritual.

In the spirit of reciprocity and gratitude, please bring a gift to offer to Mother Earth  such as a flower, coffee beans, chocolate etc.


Remember to dress for the weather and to cross shallow tide pools. Also this event is away from the main part of the beach, so those with mobility concerns will need to plan for their barriers.

  1. Thanks so much for the wonderful labyrinth ritual today. My spirit was re-balanced in the liminal space between what was and what will be.

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.
