Sound

JULY 10, 2014

On Tuesday night…
beneath the cathedral
of an oak,
branches curling and weaving,
gongs
moved the water in my body
and planted my feet
firmly on the ground of being
immersed in sound…
becoming vibration,
a rhythm
like nothing ever heard before…
molecules dancing
in synch
to the soaring arches
and the cool fog
rolling in from the Pacific Northwest….
Dissolving…
becoming nothing,
drinking
in everything,
sound,
silence,
the heart of the beat
in the palm of my hand…

On the eve of July 9th
my long-time friend
and labyrinth colleague [Alex Champion](http://www.earthsymbols.com/)
invited us to sit beneath the majestic oak in his yard
and be immersed in a "gong bath,"
six amazing gongs and cymbals played by artist [Faye Henry](http://www.tsvibrations.com/).

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!
