Stepping Backwards

MAY 4, 2010

Yep...
This is me
stepping backwards
over one of the amazing redstone cliffs
that surround St. George, Utah...

I met many incredible people
during my week at [Green Valley Spa](http://www.greenvalleyspa.com/),
but there was a special heart recognition
with three beautiful women from Minnesota...

Lindsay, Lisa, & Amy
plunged, zipped, and climbed with me
through the external and internal
landscapes that we explored,
together and individually,
during our time together...
Here is Lindsay...

and Amy....

and here are a few more of me
finding the freedom to dance with the rock
in a whole new way...

I loved the repelling!!!!

Lindsay and Amy
were like Spiderwomen when it came
to rock climbing...

I on the other hand/rope...
failed miserably...
well... maybe I exaggerate
as you can see here...

it sure felt miserable!!!

and I did make two out of the four climbs...

with the last climb non-negotiable

as that was the only way out of the canyon!!!

for in those failures...
I found my strength to let go
and say that I had accomplished more
than I ever dreamed possible...

However...
if you ever see this particular
smile on my face???

It is a lie!
What I am really thinking and saying here
can not be printed!!!!

But this smile
is genuine
and from the depths of my being...

with such appreciation
for finding the ability to step backwards
into the challenges of life
with three such beautiful friends...

Most of these photos were taken by our super guides
Jared and Matt from [Paragon Adventures](http://www.paragonadventure.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!
