Walk as One for Peace on World Labyrinth Day

NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release

Walk as One for Peace on World Labyrinth Day

Trumansburg, N.Y. — On Saturday, May 6, 2023, thousands of people will participate in the fifteenth annual World Labyrinth Day as a moving meditation for peace and celebration of the labyrinth experience. Whether you are familiar with labyrinths or new to the idea of non-maze labyrinth paths, all are welcome to learn more and take part.

World Labyrinth Day is an international event held on the first Saturday each May, sponsored by The Labyrinth Society in collaboration with partner organizations including the Australian Labyrinth Network, Legacy Labyrinth Project, and Veriditas. Together these organizations are preparing resources and offering a series of pre-World Labyrinth Day workshops to empower individuals and groups to plan their own local World Labyrinth Day events.

Many participants will “Walk as One at 1” by walking a labyrinth at 1:00 p.m. local time to create a rolling wave of peaceful energy passing from one time zone to the next around the globe. There will be individual walks, local community celebrations (with all applicable health precautions) and worldwide connections through online events and social media. Existing labyrinths will be visited, and new temporary or permanent labyrinths will be built.

Labyrinths are found throughout the world with the oldest dating back thousands of years. In contemporary use, labyrinths provide an opportunity for personal reflection, spiritual practice, or the reduction of stress in many different public and private settings. Over 6,000 labyrinths are listed on the World-Wide Labyrinth Locator website: labyrinthlocator.com.

Labyrinth walkers may also choose to participate in the third annual Big Connection research project, the first global humanity research experiment utilizing the labyrinth and asking the question, “What is the impact of walking labyrinths collectively with heart centered intention and the impact that it has for ourselves and our planet?” Labyrinth Activism is a term that has emerged from the prior studies in 2021 and 2022. This year the researchers are further exploring the process of labyrinth activism, how to initiate it, and asking participants to record their experiences. More information can be found at worldlabyrinthday.org or legacylabyrinthproject.org, beginning March 7th.

The first World Labyrinth Day was celebrated in 2009 and included events in New Zealand, Hong Kong, the United States, and many other locations. The Labyrinth Society Global Group on Facebook, created in tandem with World Labyrinth Day, has since grown to over 15,000 members from 100 different countries, with steady use throughout the year and a peak in activity every year around World Labyrinth Day. Visit worldlabyrinthday.org for more information, resources, and ways to participate.

The Labyrinth Society is a U.S.-based international nonprofit organization founded in 1998 whose mission is to support all those who create, maintain, and use labyrinths, and to serve the global community by providing education, networking, and opportunities to experience transformation.

Sharing Slides at Greenhill

March 21, 2022 Caroline Armijo

Wednesday night, I will be sharing more about the art created for H2O Exhibit at Greenhill Center for NC Art. I am very pleased with how the exhibit turned out. It is an immersive experience with art, collected objects and audio from the community. Will Warasila’s photos are also on display. Will’s MFA Show was cut short because of COVID, so this is a chance to see both of our work together. I’m pleased that at the heart of the installation are photos and audio of the community. The Lilies Project has been a community partnership and I love how strong their presence feels in the show.

Extraterrestrial Press Coverage from 1983

Without the aid of Wikipedia, I am going to guess the ET came out in the Summer of 1982. The reason for my guess is because The 1983 Gymnastics Show made that a central theme to the May performance.

Thanks to the Walnut Cove Public Library for keeping bound editions of all the past Danbury Reporters available with easy access. I only made it through a couple of years during my last visit to the library. There was no coverage for 1987, the final year of the show. But I intend to go through the complete archives before the Reunion Event.

See you there!

Bouncing Towards The Gymnastics Show

December 10, 2018 Caroline Armijo

The Christmas Holidays are quickly approaching and we are getting read for a celebration. We have several videos from the 8os that we are hoping to share with everyone at the reunion. If you have a video, it is not too late to copy them. We would love as thorough collection as possible.

As part of the reunion, we will be selecting a date for a Spring Performance and recruiting for the event. Would you like to recreate your skit from 1983? Do you believe your child can do it better? Are you a fan of a local dance team or gymnastics troupe that will perform?

We will also be filming stories shared at the reunion and creating a mini-documentary that we will share at the Spring Event. Plus we will have dancing, art and fun! Can’t wait to see you after the all of the chaos of Christmas is complete.
