Labyrinth Around America – a project launched by Englishman Clive Johnson to take a labyrinth (a path printed on a large canvas) around all border states of the continental USA – is set to arrive in Shelburne Falls in early November.
“The project aims to introduce both individuals and communities to the time-honoured practice of labyrinth walking, which has gained massive popularity in recent years,” explains Johnson, who offers the walks for free. “Walking a labyrinth offers a way to meditate, and to escape from the everyday for a short while,” he says. The popularity of labyrinths has been growing at a time when many people feel worn out by the busyness of modern life. There are now thought to be more than 10,000 labyrinths in the US alone, found in settings as diverse as public parks and university campuses.
Johnson admits that the project at first seemed like a madness to him, but says that it was an idea that wouldn’t go away. “I’ve no real idea where all this may lead,” he says, “but I feel very passionate about welcoming everyone who takes time to step onto the labyrinth’s path.”
No experience is needed for walking a labyrinth, and individuals in wheelchairs, who are blind, or have the company of a service dog will be warmly welcomed. “Just come along,” says Johnson, “And hopefully we’ll have a chance for a chat after the walk too!”
