The Enchanted Tree Of Transformation

JUNE 25, 2007

I have completed my fifth project in the final class of **_The Key to the First Door of Enchantment Series_** with fantasy artist extrodinaire [Marilyn Radzat](http://www.marilynradzat.com/), through [That Creative Place](http://www.thatcreativeplace.com/)!!!
May I present to you... My Enchanted Tree!!!

Tucked within our garden...
magic awaits your inquisitive eye!!!

The doors to the Enchanted Tree open...
revealing a place of transformation...
deep inside where butterflies merge with color and sparkle...

and a wee jeweled faerie stool awaits a fae
to slip inside this cathedral of wonder and magic...

a view from the back...

and an up close picture of the end of the branches,

described by my class mates
as drops of dew, grapes, and reflection orbs,
telling of the past, the future,
but mostly revealing this very present moment...

The butterfly that graces the top of the tree
becomes broach when lifted from its perch,
a gift from my dear Oregonian friend, Rose Tandon...

There is a secret entrance on the side...

for this is a place of magic,
for those who stop to take a peek...

and rest in the shadow and light,
in the beauty of the Enchanted Tree of Transformation...

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!
