The Heart Circle

JULY 13, 2007

The fourth path, the heart-circle has been set... This is one of the unique features of the Santa Rosa Labyrinth design,
the heart-space... it correlates with the fourth chakra, the
heart-chakra... and is approached from all four directions while walking the Santa Rosa design...

And now, even though the labyrinth is not yet complete... I can finally walk the inner four rings to the center... and oh does it feel good...
Here is David, working on the last half of the fourth circuit...

While I continue to cut bricks...
I found this extension that allows me to hold the brick without my hands being any where near the blade...

I can not even begin to tell you how relieved I am!!! So much relief that I've become bold enough to make fancy cuts...

And I've started filling in all the odd places were large gaps were to be found... and I'm finding other odd places to just let these irregularities be... for I can now see all of these little places where I could make even more intricate cuts, which makes the obsessive compulsive aspects of my personality crazy!!!!

So... this too becomes a meditation for me of just letting go and enjoying the irregularities and personality that is appearing as the labyrinth moves towards completion...

and can you believe that we have worked through that entire pile of bricks that made up the original labyrinth!!!! now we await the delivery of 770 more bricks to complete the outer three rings... but in the mean time... I can walk and walk to my heart's content...

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!
