Happy New Year!! This video may say 2023 but the same sentiment applies! You are part of a wonderful community and have a wide reach to touch (and change) a lot of people's lives. It may not seem apparent at first, but your contributions have the ability to change the whole world. Isn't that amazing?!
This nicely connects with the realization I just made in the liminal space of sleeping and awake: I have never been looking for customers, I have been looking for COLLABORATORS! Which all of you are!!!
I am always looking for more people to play with, to have fun with.
The Labyrinth has been the vehicle I had been looking for to do that--even when it was already there and I had been walking for over twenty years myself on a handful of Labyrinths at that time.
I was not yet aware of The Labyrinth Society or Veriditas.
This is what I think of my Sir Percival moment: I walked the Labyrinth at age 19 and even had a paper outlining what the Labyrinth is (based on Lauren Artress's first book) but failed to ask the very important question: WHERE DID THIS INFORMATION COME FROM??
And it was right there in black and white on the bottom of the page.
I was an idiot for twenty years, walking Labyrinths as they came up in my awareness but not yet keyed into that they were all connected.
It was really, really silly of me not to realize that because I already was a student of Synchronicity and Flow theory.
And you know, thinking about it now, I think the timing of when I put the pieces together is based on when I had dived deep into my soul's journey and shadow work. My masters program was messy. I let myself take time with it, taking incompletes whenever they were available! I have so many IAs on my transcript.
But it was what I needed while going full time and working full time.
I was there the last day my favorite university bookstore was open. I vibed with the scuff on the wall that was revealed when everything was taken down (it looked like a torso with a floating head). I took not one but two tours into the bowels of the building, and filmed it for my own records. The building ended up being gutted afterward.
Now I am realizing that journey was ceremonial. I went into the underworld and came back. I also made two circulator rotations through. Rather Labyrinthine.
And even then. It didn't dawn on me until I was at Pacifica's campus for the first time.
I sought out the Labyrinths there and became so enraged with their appearances. It was less than a month later that I became aware of Veriditas, the Labyrinth Society, and came upon this community and made this video.
There was so much energy and storytelling behind what I wanted to bring into the world.
And everyone plays a part in that.
If you walk or build or teach about Labyrinths, you are part of this ever-unfolding story that is helping people remember who they are and what they are to the world (This really does always go back to EarthRise for me.)
Happy New Year 2026!
I wonder what will be happening with Labyrinths this year! I wonder what accomplishments, breakthroughs, and connections we will make this year, individually and collectively. 🌀
