Come celebrate with us the Summer Solstice 2020 and the coming end of 2020 at the Art Centre Labyrinth on Friday 18 December at 11:30am. This is an opportunity meet together to give thanks for a memorable year, and share our hopes for 2021.
The format of the gathering will be simple: a peaceful walk through the labyrinth, a 15 to 20 minute time for silent meditation/contemplation together, a sharing of thoughts and poetry (your own or works others have written), and lunch together in the Art Centre Courtyard. If it is hot, we move to the shade in the courtyard for our meditation and sharing. We also have lunch in this area so everyone has the option of getting take-aways from Cafe 191, or BYO food and/or drinks.
The Labyrinth has continued to grow gently during the year and is an important peaceful haven for many who visit the Centre. Our random piles of rocks have become interesting and intriguing stacks, and part of the fallen tree has been moved to reveal a previously unused part of the labyrinth path. The plants continue to grow, and hopefully the ones that were challenged by the dry weather will be saved by the current rain. If you have any Australian native plants wanting a new home, please let me know as we may be able to find a place for them.
This will be the last Friday gathering this year, and we will resume on Friday 8 January. CAFE 191 will close for Christmas break at 1pm on Sunday December 20 and reopen 9am January 5, 2021. The Centre itself will close for the break on Dec 23rd at 4pm if you have any last-minute Christmas shopping. If you are looking for an interesting place to visit during the holidays - especially if you are entertaining children - the Labyrinth will still be accessible during the holiday break.
Thank you for your continuing support of the labyrinth as it continues to remind us of both the amazing beauty of our environment and of life itself - and of the many twists and turns along our pathway.

Further information on the Labyrinth can be found

I am also looking for anyone interested in coming with me to the
Summer Solstice celebrations at Northey Street Farm at 6:30 pm also on Friday 18 December. Please let me know asap if you are interested
