Lucky's 4th Birthday

 

The Labyrinth (and Lucky) Celebrate their 4th Birthday   The Labyrinth and Lucky turn four on Thursday 5 November, and will celebrate the occasion during our Friday Celebrations at the Labyrinth the following day (Friday 6 Nov!) starting at 11:30.  Everyone is invited to join us on this special day.  It is also a time of celebration for the Art Centre as a whole, as the whole place continues to grow and become an important hub of creativity on the Island partly due to the magic of Corey and his coffee and cakes at Cafe 191. As part of the celebration, and the ongoing evolution of the labyrinth, we have just opened up a winding section of the pathway which has been closed since a banksia tree fell over the pathway shortly after the path was built.  As well as bypassing the potentially risky step over the tree, this opening of new pathways seems very suitable in these times of needing to find new and creative approaches to our challenges.      Our regular activities at the Labyrinth have changed and evolved over the years, and have now become a very special way to celebrate our lives and the joy of coming together.  We  now meet each Friday at 11:30 am  for a walk of the labyrinth, and a quiet time together for contemplation and meditation (sometimes accompanied by gentle singing), followed by a time for sharing prose, poetry or just reflections on our lives - or just listening.  We finish with coffee/lunch at the Art Centre's Cafe 191, and often enjoying the current exhibition in the Matthew Flinders Gallery. Everyone is welcome to come and go as their time permits.   Although the labyrinth itself is generally cool and shaded during the summer, we have just moved our meditation and poetry sharing into the cooler shaded area in the Courtyard.  I do have a separate email list for updates to these Friday Celebrations, so please let me know if you are interested in receiving it.  In addition, I have put my contributions to our weekly sharing in a separate blog just to give people a taste of our celebrations (https://joycesbirdpoems.blogspot.com/).  I did consider trying to collect all our shared pieces each day, but quickly realised that this would be difficult for some, and in any case, would not capture the magic of what happens on each day. Please remember our labyrinth when you are looking for a quiet and magical place to visit - and we would love to see you at our Friday Celebration! Joyce  0439 329 334   Joyce.Newell@bigpond.com
