Announcing the birth of the Children’s Peace and Nature Labyrinth Design

Jerry Etzkorn and Renee Lindstrom have done it ​*again!  They have
collaborated and created the Children’s Peace and Nature Labyrinth Design for the ​Contemplative Workshop at the ​World Children’s ​Summit on ​Peace and Nature  in May, 2015.  ​Renee had the idea of creating a Labyrinth design that children of the future could make their own  and Jerry magically turned ideas into amazing and creative results.

This labyrinth design has an entrance at the base of the trunk
and an exit at the top of the branches.  It was specifically designed
this way for the movement and contemplation program for the
World Children’s Summit while keeping the traditional four directions.

 

Enjoy the beauty in this pattern.  This design will be available in a  30 foot by 30 foot painted portable indoor labyrinth by November 1, 2014

*Jerry and Renee collaborated in the fall of 2013 on a heart shape labyrinth design for wedding ceremonies.  .

Shifting the planet to green together  &  our differences are in the solutions not the values. Values are in harmony! 

If wo/man takes time to consider inner values and share them with a willingness to hear what is important to others, the solutions will more likely include both of set needs.  By listening first, before solutions,  the results will be more open and expansive versus closed and limiting. (*mirroring mindfulness) This will be the change that will shift the planet to green as  this behavior could replace conflict.  It may be surprising to hear that there is no conflict at the level of values, only in the solutions and strategies.

Personal connection to the environment is reflected in personal surroundings at home, work and play.  It is experienced in our immediate surroundings by the decisions made and personal actions taken.  These decisions and actions are experienced in the present and future and impact the  quality of life, lifestyles and relationships.

Try answering these easy questions:

1.  Begin by considering what is meaningful to you in nature and make a list of qualities that reflect this.  Some examples might be; space, order, beauty, interesting,  fun and quiet.

2.  Now consider how your home reflects these qualities.  Ask yourself if your personal space reflects the same qualities that you enjoy in nature?

3.  Next consider the surroundings at work or school with the same inner question of whether it has the qualities you enjoy in nature.

4.   Once you have considered your structural support take time to consider what you do for play.  Do you play in nature?  Where do you spend your time? What do you focus your attention on?  Are you making any time to enjoy your natural environment?
