Date and time
Location
Merri Creek Labyrinth
Merri Creek Trail Clifton Hill, VIC 3068 AustraliaAbout this event
- Event lasts 1 hour
This is an opportunity to gather together in community to walk the labyrinth. Bookings required. If you are no longer able to attend please let the organiser know so people on the waiting list can be offered a space.
We will gather, learn about labyrinths, and engage in a self-reflective walk. There will be an option to do a process to let go of the old and step into the new. After your walk there will be opportunity to draw or journal about your experience, and an invitation to add some words to the Wishing Tree.
All ages are welcome. Supervision of children are the responsibility of parent/caregivers.
Donations: Donations are requested for the event to go directly to the wildlife carers supporting our local wildlife in the Grampians/Gariwerd (fire recovery and medical care). Wildlife carers supply feed, bedding and equipment for the animals in their care until they are ready to return to the wild. They are volunteers and receive no funding. If you're unable to attend but can donate, please do.
Please donate online or in person donations can also be received on the day.
Bring: We are outdoors so please wear weather appropiate clothing, bring water bottles, hats/sunscreen, or anything else you may need.
Accessibility: The labyrinth has narrow paths which are lined with bluestones. If you are unable to walk the labyrinth please let Tash know (contact the organiser via Eventbrite) as she can provide you with a handheld labyrinth you can use seated or standing. The area directly surrounding the labyrinth is grassed. Pathways along the Merri Creek Trail are smooth surfaced, and some areas have some incline/decline.
