Labyrinth Event: Sunday August 24, 2014 from 12 noon to 2 pm at Spanish Banks, Vancouver BC Canada

Three things differentiate living from the soul versus living from the ego only. They are: the ability to sense and learn new ways, the tenacity to ride a rough road, and the patience to learn deep love over time.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Without a task that challenges, there can be no transformation. Without a task there can be no real sense of satisfaction.

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.

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.

. . . the closing of Liminal Space - Summer Solstice 2010





. . . the flooding of the foreshore of Spanish Banks, just after Summer Solstice, as liminal space closes.

About Me

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.
