What fun hosting Bankers Trust staff and clients and welcoming an out of town visitor to the Phoenix Harmony Labyrinth. Tuesday, July 11 was steamy and threatening storms. But, the hardy crew engaged in lively discussions and asked probing questions about the more simple lifestyle we embrace at Winding Pathways. Now, simple does not mean easy. Tending a large yard and five circuit labyrinth are work. Rewarding work. And, people are curious about chickens, managing small gardens, maximizing space, retaining water on our property, heating with wood, and creating diversity that welcomes wildlife. Topics like ways to save energy which saves money to be invested or used caught their attention. And questions on managing pests like ground hogs and deer. We touched on a lot and had a great time.
Go to 1080 Labyrinth for a photo album of the afternoon and evening.
Then, with storms obviously to the south showing off cumulus and anvil clouds but no threat, all walked the Phoenix Harmony Labyrinth. Mike T’s comment summed it all up. As he and Terri entered the center a cool breeze touched their faces. Mike paused and said, “I never want to leave.”
Thanks Terri Doyle for organizing and promoting!
looking for info/resources re: history of and development, etc. of labyrinths for a woman from my Quaker women’s Group who will be leading a discussion about this topic in the Fall. No rush. Think of you and Rich often and enjoy Winding Pathways. Love, Nancy
Veriditas is the premier organization founded by the Reverend Lauren Artress under whom I have trained. The Labyrinth Society with its Labyrinth Locator of registered labyrinths in various areas is excellent. Also, Labyrinthos. Experts include Lisa Gidlow Moriarty, Lars Howlett. both have web sites. The book “Walking the Sacred Path” by Rev. Artress is excellent. I have done a number of programs on labyrinths and always learn. If you want more information, use my gmail as I check that daily. Thanks and best wishes. M~
