Santa Rosa Labyrinth's 20th Birthday

MARCH 15, 2017

Twenty years ago today,
these twists and turns spun out from my compass
and this path with heart has taken me on a truly amazing journey!
I have watched this beautiful labyrinth
be built
in every medium imaginable,
people sending me stories and photos
from all over the world
all the while watching the neighborhood kids grow up
to dance, walk, and run its path these past years...
even as it has transformed before me,
mirroring the many changes in my own life...

weddings, deaths, births, birthdays,
celebrations, letting go's,
season after season,
days and nights...

Happy Birthday
sweet path of joy!

Marilyn Larson's song about you
is fit for today
and always...

The sun and the moon
and the sun and the moon
shine on me as I walk
on my path to and fro...
cheering my heart
as I change at each turn
with each step as I go
to and fro,
to and fro...
the sun and the moon
side by side in my heart.

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!
