Pumpkin Labyrinth…why not?

Great Fall idea if you have the space and a bunch of pumpkins!

Labyrinths in Brive

World Labyrinth day 2017 where we live in Brive-la-Gaillarde, France, was a very rainy day, so we decided to postpone our labyrinth celebration a few days later. My wife and I, along with a few friends, created these three labyrinths in the center of our town.

Beach Labyrinths 201

Again, IF you’re one of the lucky ones among us who goes to the beach this summer, consider building a Beach Labyrinth…..definitely a step up from the boring old sand castle. The labyrinth pictured below is a bit more complex and time consuming than the simple stick model that I discussed here in this post.

The path of this labyrinth has been dug into the sand. It could be a bit tricky to walk through but that could just add to the experience.

You can always view various “labyrinth designs” in the browser of your smart phone. The great thing about beach labyrinths is that you can easy cover up a mistake and start all over again with a quick brushing over with the sand.

Have you ever made a beach labyrinth? How did it go? Do you have photos?

Beach Labyrinths 101

When and IF you go to the beach this summer, think about creating a beach labyrinth….it’s not that hard. All you need is a stick and a wifi connection for your smartphone. Search for images on “labyrinth design” and you will see all sorts of labyrinth possibilities. Choose one to your liking and start creating it from the center out with your handy stick that you probably just found in the seagrass. The one pictured below is nice but just a bit too small to walk comfortably. Below it is a photo of a much larger one I created in Portugal a few years ago.

Have you already made a beach labyrinth? How did it go? Did anyone other than yourself and friends walk it?

Vine-Covered Labyrinth

I LOVE these vines stretching up over the labyrinth….give is a feel of seclusion and privacy. I could spend some serious time here.

Daffodil Labyrinth

What a cool idea! It’s too late for this year, of course.

Simple Masking Tape Labyrinth

Here’s a simple masking tape labyrinth that I made in a coffee shop for a friend who was doing a story telling workshop for kids.

Labyrinth for Preschoolers

My Floridian friend Carol Gilmore created this labyrinth for the preschoolers of her church. She said that the senior adults enjoyed it as well.

Labyrinth at Mercer University

While in the USA recently we walked the new Chartres designed labyrinth at Mercer University in Atlanta, GA. Really well done. Congrats Mercer! @merceryou
