The Walk A Quiet Path Labyrinth Open Workshop – Saturday 8th March 2008
An Open Workshop was held at the Hawthorns Urban Wildlife Centre on Southampton Common to introduce interested people to the ancient labyrinth symbol and to enable participants to practise creating a Seven Circuit Cretan Labyrinth. 21 people attended the workshop and three groups created temporary sand labyrinths on the Common afterwards. Thanks to Francoise Murat for some of the photographs used in this selection.
