Scotland, September 1 - 15, 2022

On September 6th my group (with Atlas Obscura) visited Castle Foulis, Seat of the Clan Munro and home to the Munro family. It was an amazing day of history and legends with a gentleman who is truly a Scottish National Treasure.New Paragraph

One of the things that The Chief of Clan Munro shared with us, was this ancient sundial. He said that it also tracked the cycles of the moon. How all the nooks and crannies and projections all worked together… has long been lost and forgotten. But it was still an object of beauty and workmanship to be admired. You could plainly see the Munro crest carved on the pedestal, along with the initials of “J & M” which possibly signified that this was a “marriage stone.” However, the stone-sundial atop the pedestal, there is no telling how old it is.

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!
