Reviving The Sebastopol Labyrinth of Life for the Summer Solstice

JUNE 18, 2013

Installed in 1999 with bricks for the lines
this labyrinth disappears back into the ground very quickly...

So this past Saturday,
just six months after the last grass-cut,
Cisco and Max of FB Landscaping met with me and my friends and dancing colleagues
Michael and Barbara Aman of [Spirit Moves](http://www.barbaraaman.com/barbaraaman/SpiritMoves_Soul_Motion.html)
to cut away the sod,
revealing the twists and turns yet once again...

This labyrinth is going to continue to need some TLC.
With Cisco and crew, we will do our best to keep it up,
but the bricks need to be reset and the sod cut more than twice a year...

If you can help in any way,
please contact me!

This reviving was also in preparation
for Barbara, who will be joined by Quiana and William Grace-Frost
for a Summer Solstice Labyrinth & Dance Workshop
on Saturday, June 22nd.

The Retiring of a Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • 05 Aug, 2023

Labyrinths provide us with a path to practice change. Some labyrinths have withstood the passage of time for thousands of years. Others are here for just an afternoon, drawn in the sand at the edge of the ocean. Many modern labyrinths were meant to last for years, but because of unforeseen circumstances their time is shorter than intended. And they once again help us to practice letting go and giving thanks for the time they are with us. The Labyrinth of Life at the Sebastopol, California Teen Center reached such place of letting go and is at the end of one chapter and the beginning of another chapter that is yet unknown.

Making A Three Circuit Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • 05 Aug, 2023

Sometimes... a labyrinth can take years to become a physical reality. In 2018 I met with my friend Deb, to discuss her desire to have a labyrinth on the beautiful land she lives on. Despite our plans and several meetings, listening to the land and finding the right spot, the labyrinth did not come to fruition. Fast-forward five years and in the blink of an eye... it happened!
