Elemental Labyrinth by the Pixie Collective

The Pixie Collective is pleased to share their latest creation, an elemental labyrinth that will be installed next to the healing tent. The walk-able labyrinth is painted in vibrant colors with an elemental altar in each corner, corresponding to the four directions: north, south, east, and west. The Pixie Collective is a growing community whose intention is to create, share, and inspire one another.

The labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. The symbol occurs around the world in different cultures, at different points in time, however, its origins are still mysterious. It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. The labyrinth represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world. Labyrinths are outrageous tools that can work real magic moments, bringing distant worlds together. These magical single path mazes enhance the possibility of bringing together our analytical/rational mode of consciousness with our intuitive spiritual levels of consciousness. It is your choice to enter the labyrinth but once you have there is only one way to go, back and forth until you ultimately reach your goal. It is a metaphor for life's journey. It is a symbol that creates a sacred space and place and takes us out of our ego to "That Which Is Within."

(we invite everyone to walk the labyrinth but please respectfully remove your shoes)
