A Mangrove-inspired Labyrinth Walk (SOLD OUT)
Garden Island is a unique coastal environment nurtured by the presence of thick forests of mangroves.
Inspired by the beautiful form of the mangrove seedling, a propagule, we have created a distinctive labyrinth design which will be temporarily reproduced for this event on open space near the boardwalk.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The labyrinth, as a form, has been shaped and given meaning over many thousands of years - the oldest forms dating back 4,000 years to petroglyphs found carved into rock. As a mindfulness tool the labyrinth brings focus to the here and now.
One of the ways in which a labyrinth can be used is to walk it with intent. All participants will have the opportunity to walk the labyrinth with intention - to protect the biological diversity of the mangrove ecosystem around Barker Inlet, and other fragile environments on our planet.
This event is aimed at adults, but children are welcome to attend. Any children must be accompanied by a guardian and be appropriately supervised at all times.
Meet on the grassed area to the right of the entrance to Garden Island Jetty. A large car park is adjacent to the grassed area.
Please contact the Port Environment Centre if you have any mobility or access concerns.
