A pattern of movement for conflict resolution process?
A conflict resolution Labyrinth walk? Yes of course! Shared a creative afternoon yesterday exploring why early communities (pre-religion) would have walked a labyrinth. A hot question on the minds of the participants as the day started and answered only after a guided and experiential journey of labyrinth patterns. An answer was not given in the traditional teaching way, but integrated through a personal exploration, in the safety of a group. An experience that started with strangers (disconnected from each other) and ended in a calm, centered, meaningful and grounded group connection. As the underlying intention was to answer this community question they had a growing realization of the power of walking this pattern before meetings. The purpose: to have the participants walk it together prior to the business meeting to reintegrate community and expand acceptance of each others differences through the pattern of movement. This is what I describe as Green Behavior and love the implications. Can you imagine different outcomes with exploring labyrinth walks for conflict resolution?

Drawing a West Coast Sand Labyrinth
by Renee Lindstrom, GCFP @ Inside Awareness, Living in Natures Love Blog & Renee Lindstrom Live
Walking through a sand labyrinth for the first time may bring you an unexpected quality that could increase your experience of joy and renew your romance with life along our coastlines.
After drawing and creatively decorating a sand labyrinth it will be time to simply enter the walk. Walking the labyrinth pathways your attention may be drawn inward increasing your focus on what’s in front of you. This is when you may begin to notice the simple beauties of beach life that sometimes gets lost in the vastness of the bigger view. For example; a tiny birds foot prints, a shell embedded in the sand and seaweed sitting softly on top.
Shell in the sand
These bits of life may jump deeper into awareness in this type of meditative walk in a way creating a deeper sense of expanded connection to your senses in some way.
If you are planning a beach event or simply find yourself with time at the beach consider this an opportunity to deepen your connection with our coastal life.
