24.01.2022 NEVER THE WRONG PATH You cannot walk the 'wrong' path. You can only walk the path.... For a moment, be present. Breathe. Let the past recede into the evening. Feel your feet held on the vastness of the Earth. Hear sounds shimmering all around you. You cannot know you are walking the wrong path. You are simply walking the path you are walking, walking the path you cannot not walk. Your walking makes it the path. The path of this moment. The only path you can touch. The path your senses are meeting. Behold, your path reveals itself in front of you, always. Only a thought calls it wrong or right. With doubt as your trusted guide, walk with courage... In every sacred moment. In every Now of Now. Through every breath. Through every joy and sorrow. This is your path. - Jeff Foster

23.01.2022 Greeting's Lovey Labyrinth lovers! Just sharing this with the community. Be welcome one and all x See you Saturday! "Hi. I have written a novel, called 'circles - a story about connecting' that is based around a community meeting at Merri Creek Labyrinth and starting a spiritual revolution to help protect our planet. I have been greatly inspired by the community effort in creating and maintaining the labyrinth. I will be holding a book launch event at 5pm on Saturday 17 Mar...ch at Quarries park where we will be creating a human labyrinth for the front cover. I would love it if you could come along and also share with the community. There will be food and drink provided." https://www.facebook.com/events/2072000216367883/?notif_t=plan_user_associated¬if_id=1520890217373930&__mref=mb See more

19.01.2022 Some Beautiful images of the labyrinth by Charles Rantz Strebor. Thanks Charles :)
19.01.2022 Hopi origin story...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D53yGnJwjT0 Creator: I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it. It is the realization that they create their own reality Eagle: Give it to me, I will take it to the moon.... Creator: No, one day they will go there and find it. Salmon: I will bury it in the bottom of the ocean. Creator: No, they will go there too. Buffalo: I will bury it in the Great Plains. Creator: They will cut into the skin of the Earth and find it even there. Grandmother lives in the breast of the Mother Earth and has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes. Grandmother: Put it inside them. Creator: It is done.
17.01.2022 A favourite quote by Joseph Campbell. Furthermore, we have not even to risk the adventure alone; for the heroes of all time have gone before us, The labyrinth is fully known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero-path and where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; Where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world.
16.01.2022 'Walking home to country is a connection our people have always had with Mother Earth. Our culture is defined by the closeness of family circles and staying connected to the people within it. The labyrinth invites and welcomes people to walk the path together it calls them to the land in oneness.' (Aunty Ali Golding, Aboriginal Elder, Biripi Nation)
15.01.2022 2nd chance for some loving!!!! Our second Winter solstice mulching working bee is primed for this Wednesday 8th July from 11am.

15.01.2022 Thanks to everyone today who dug in at our working bee! A beautiful way to exercise as well as #reconnect to earth, purpose, community, self ...
14.01.2022 Friends of Merri Creek Labyrinth It's great to see the Labyrinth basically in good shape, and so well loved and used. Now it's time to add its winter clothes - a good layer of mulch, which will help suppress weed growth and allow rain to drain through without creating muddy paths. Can you help for an hour or two on - Saturday 20th July from 10am -... Yarra Council has given us a good pile of mulch, but dropped it across the other side of the path, so "many hands will make light work" to bucket or barrow and spread around the Labyrinth. It would be great if you could bring a bucket or two and gardening gloves. Hope to see you !!! See more

06.01.2022 Dear Merri Creek Labyrinth Friends As we pass the winter solistce, we greet the promise of lengthening days, if perhaps also colder and more damp... and we trust you keep well and centred in the midst of life's busyness. Winter is often a time to go inwards, enjoying warmth and reflection, but it's also an opportunity to embrace winter's invitation to invigoration.... Our Labyrinth also needs to put on it's winter cloak and you are invited to join us from 11am Friday 29th June to help cover it's bare-ness. Yarra Council have contributed a load of mulch, and some willing hands will make light work of spreading it... just bring some gardening gloves, and perhaps a bucket, tho we will have some there too. While we are there, we'll say hello to the Wishing Tree, attend to a little tidy-up, and check if any surrounding weeds need a haircut - thanks to the anonymous weed-pullers who faithfully do this randomly, also. All this might well lead to a cuppa and a bite to eat at a local cafe, as you wish. We hope you can join us and look forward to your company.
