Thursday evening and another Sumptuous meal! MyKha's serves fabulous food and Kathleen, Denise, Patti, and Karen are delightfull hostesses. Thank you!

I have to admit that one of the main reasons that I come on these trips is for the dinners that we enjoy together. There is always another spectacular restaurant with interesting conversation just around the corner. We seem to be able to find them just about every night! Thank you Labyrinth for bringing this into my life!
We heard that there are a lot of very special minerals with deep spiritual and healing properties buried under the Labyrinth. I've mentioned it in earlier blogs but I think that the Labyrinth is a kind of lens which focuses healing, coherent energy into this world. Placing crystals, or writings like prayers and sacred texts in the Labyrinth just amplifies their properties.

We finished cutting all the large circles today. Now we carve the lunations (the crescents all around the edge) and connect all the large circles with smaller crescents to make one continuous path. We'll get all our cutting done Friday, hopefully, then begin to color the pattern on Saturday.

Another reason I come on these trips if for contrast.
Most of my days at home in Asheville are invested in sittng at my computer or at my jewelry bench. I move my fingers only during these sessions. (Truthfully, I fidget too.) The point is that my focus is on small motor movements confined mainly to my fingers.
Making Labyrinths in the Ferre style require whole body movement, all day long! So it's exciting for me to have the contrast between jewelry making and decorative concrete cutting.

Linda, Karen and Denise came to the Labyrinth today to give us the map to MyKha's.

Robert gives a lesson in using his newly improved lunation saw. You may be able to see the curved lines in the concrete to the left of John's legs and above Judy's head. This is the big deal that we've worked to make for the last three days. These grooves in the concrete define the paths of the Labyrinth. On Saturday, we'll begin to color them.

Robert will be delivering a talk about the labyrinth on Friday, at 10am in the Board Dining Room at Marianjoy. Please RSVP to Karen at 630-462-4199. All are welcome.

Visit the Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital website to see a very pretty artist's rendering of what the labyrinth will look like when it's completed. Or, you could click on one of the links on the left side of the page and explore my website further! Thanks for coming by!

Please visit Robert Ferre's web site Labyrinth Enterprises for complete information on how to have your own labyrinth!
