A LABYRINTH has re-appeared on the banks of the Barwon River in the lead-up to Christmas.<\/p>\n
With Intention, a small meditation community of the Western Heights Uniting Church in Herne Hill created the temporary labyrinth as a public art project.<\/p>\n
Now in its fourth year, the Labyrinth Project was created to provide the community with a space to slow down, re-centre and reconnect.<\/p>\n
The temporary space has been marked out on grass alongside the Barwon River at the end of Craigie Road in Newtown, using white aerosol landscape marker\u2019s paint.<\/p>\n
Supported by the City of Greater Geelong and Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CCMA), it is hoped that the project will garner interest within the wider community in engaging with a public labyrinth, and provide an opportunity for people to come together and grow community in an organic way.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn today\u2019s busy and often challenging world it is important to slow down and reflect every now and again,\u201d arts, culture and heritage portfolio chair Cr Jim Mason said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany people find that engaging with arts and culture is a good way to do this. The labyrinth is a terrific initiative, and has clearly been a source of calm for many people.<\/p>\n
\u201cI encourage everyone to visit and walk the labyrinth, particularly if you are feeling stressed or need some time for inner reflection.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my student days I found that reflection was the best way to improve my memory and self awareness, so I\u2019ve made time for it ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
