Labyrinth Event: 'Sounding,' Sunday August 18, 2013 at Spanish Banks, Vancouver from 11am to 1 pm.

Cost: by donation

Come and join us as we find ways for our own vocal sounds to harmonize with the sound and landscapes around us.

At Spanish Banks we look to the mountains, the city, the forest and the sea for communication and inspiration. Sounding is a great way to send healing out into the world while giving to ourselves at the same time. No singing experience necessary — just bring the voice you have!

This event will be facilitated by Kira Van Deusen.

You can find out more about Kira by going to her web page:

http://www.kiravan.com  

If you like - and in the spirit of reciprocity - you can bring something to leave in the labyrinth as an offering. It should be something that will return easily to the elements. Shells, rocks and leaves can all be found nearby. Don't worry if you forget, there will be items at the event you can use.

Dress for the weather and to cross shallow tide pools.

Happy Summer Solstice 2011.

The Summer Solstice labyrinth event will occur today, June 19, 2011 from 2 to 4 pm on the foreshore at Spanish Banks, between the East And West Spanish Banks Beach Cafes. For directions, please see the Blog entry from Tuesday, February 1, 2011 titled: Directions to the Spanish Banks Labyrinth location.

Summer Solstice Labyrinth: Sunday, June 19, 2011 and Tuesday, June 21, 2011 at Spanish Banks in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Open to the ocean, mountains, trees and sky, 

these labyrinth events will connect inner spirit to the earth and the Divine in the grandeur of the natural world. 

Summer Solstice is a liminal time in the natural world. An extraordinary time,  "betixt and between" spring and summer, the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. As such, it is an opportunity for the spiritual traveler to seek and find a better understanding of life and receive a vision of things that could be.

On Sunday, June 19, 2011 from 2 to 4pm and/or Tuesday, June 21, 2011 from 3 to 5 pm journey with others at Spanish Banks in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and celebrate Summer Solstice 2011.

For directions to the labyrinth location, please see the posting from earlier this year dated:

March Equinox Labyrinth Event: Sunday March 20, 2011 at Spanish Banks from 1 to 3 pm - weather permitting.

This event will occur minutes before the March 20th Equinox. Many cultures and religions have celebrated equinox as a time of rebirth with observed holidays and festivals.

Equinox has the property of liminal time: that is, it is betwixt or between winter and spring. Liminal time, like liminal space, is "characterized by ambiguity, openness and indeterminacy where limits in thought, self-understanding and behaviour can be challenged and new insights considered."

Walking a labyrinth on equinox may, therefore, be a time to reflect on the past and celebrate a birth of new thoughts, insights, behaviours and deeper self-understanding.

**This event is an opportunity to pray for the people of Japan**

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.

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.

I am back in Vancouver and plan to offer some public walks soon.

Please check back over the next week for specific dates, location and times. And, because Nature will ultimately decide if and when I may be able to draw a labyrinth on the foreshore, check back on any scheduled date for confirmation of the event.
Finally, as a reminder, there is no charge to attend a labyrinth event.

Update for the November 14, 2010 'Walk' at Spanish Banks.

The forecast for tomorrow, according to Environment Canada, calls for showers. I will, however, post a message early tomorrow morning whether I will be drawing a labyrinth.
