I am cancelling the labyrinth event scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday April 19th, 2015 from 1 to 3 pm at Spanish Banks, due to conflicting information about the recent oil spill in English Bay and the safety of the beach. The media is reporting that the beaches are safe right now, however, Vancouver Coastal Health website still advises caution about the area below the high tide line. Since I draw the labyrinth between the high and low tide line, I feel uncomfortable proceeding with this event.
I am planning to draw next on Saturday May 2, 2015 and will host a labyrinth event from 12:00 to 2:00 pm on that day. This date corresponds with the Labyrinth Societies: World Labyrinth Day. Please see a link to their website on this Blog and come and walk with us.

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.
