Event Details:
Date and Time: July 11-14, 9:00 am to Noon
Location: North side of the Jim Guy Trail at the north end of the Dark Sky Preserve
What to Expect:
In this unique endeavor, we will collaboratively gather and select stones, which will be thoughtfully placed to mark the rings of the labyrinth. Working with respect, deep listening, and positive intention, we will lay the rocks, one-by-one, forming an outer ring with entrances in each direction, as well as an inner labyrinth with an entrance and exit to the east.
This event is more than just a workshop; it is an opportunity for individuals on the island to engage in a contemplative, peaceful, and nature-connected experience. By participating in the creation of the labyrinth, you will deepen your awareness, observational capacity, and connection to yourself and the surrounding environment.
Why Attend:
- Unleash Your Creativity: Guided by Rosemarie, an artist, dancer, and community builder, you will have the chance to tap into your own creativity and explore the power of intention. She will facilitate a process that brings individuals into a deeper connection with themselves and nature before entering the cordoned-off space. Take a moment to connect with the earth, the sky, and the stones, and discover the profound impact of intention in your life.
- Community-Building: By participating in this event, you become part of a vibrant and inclusive community. Connect with like-minded individuals, form meaningful relationships, and contribute to the shared vision of creating a space for reflection and growth.
- Nature Connection: Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Dark Sky Preserve as we work with the land, leveling the soil and gathering rocks from various areas of the property. Engage in a mindful process that allows you to connect with nature on a deeper level, enhancing your sense of belonging and interconnectedness.
Price: FREE
This event is a gift to the people and families on the island who wish to experience the wonders of the eco park without fees. There is no cost to attend; however, we kindly request that you register and sign a waiver as a precautionary measure. Safety is important to us, even when dropping stones accidentally.
