HONOLULU, HAWAII

"Playing Forward"....While giving a workshop in Hawaii, we took a break and went out to the beach.  The beach is a perfect place to create a simple 3 Path Labyrinth, which doesn't take a long time, and you can have a very invigorating 'walk' hearing the waves rolling in and watching the sunset in paradise.

Just begin with the simple 'seed pattern' of a cross with four dots ( found on this site), then take a stick and trace it all out.  Adjust for size, then use your feet to form the paths.  We walked this labyrinth then left it for other travelers and vacationers to use....I loved watching the children play on it and around it.   Like the ancient sand Mandala's of the Tibetan Monks...when it is finished it just returns to its original state of being.

NELSON, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA



What is it about Canada that people just want to put Labyrinths in streets and parking lots? Yes, this labyrinth is painted in the middle of the side road, off the main street, in downtown Nelson, British Columbia, Canada. I found out that it was painted to raise awareness and funds to build another one in a park near the water. Which I can report has now been completed!

Please visit The Nelson Community Labyrinth Project on their website for more information: www.labyrinth.kics.bc.ca

FERGUS, ONTARIO CANADA


Labyrinth enthusiasts, Jim Honey and Sharon McClean - placed a Classic 7 Path Style in the Parking Lot of a local Convention Arena. Using only a diagram and a bag of lime, gloves and paper cups, they traced a temporary full size Labyrinth on the ground. Gives a new meaning to "paved Paradise and put up a parking lot" ….with Labyrinth! Jim is part of a family owned winery in St. Catherines, and operates a "Castle" bookstore and much more in the quaint town of Elora, near Fergus, Ontario. His website is Sangrael. Sharon is active in the community to promote Labyrinths, and is also an accomplished vocal artist and musician who plans on composing music to walk the Labyrinth by.

CARTAGO - (Near San Jose) COSTA RICA


Here they are, the three owners of the only Labyrinths in Costa Rica! All pictured together at the Labyrinth of Dr. Steven Kogel. Interesting fact: They were all born in the U.S.A., and migrated to beautiful Costa Rica.
