Alex Champion's Hexagonal Rock Earthwork with 6 Obelisks
SEPTEMBER 11, 2019
The grass is growing on the earthworks
and the obelisks have now been completely sanded, primed and painted.
The space is exquisitely beautiful and it is incredible to be in the energy
of the mounds and the obelisks and the earth and the sky.
Alex’s vision has surpassed anything I could have imagined at the beginning
when he first announced his intent to build this earthwork and create the six obelisks.
It has been quite a journey from then until now!

And the final photos and dedication [HERE](https://creativelabyrinths.com/blog/2019/9/11/alex-champions-hexagonal-rock-earthwork-with-6-obelisks).
These mounds make the obelisks look small and then you remember that they are six-feet tall! The energy here is palpable. I could stay for hours and just be in the glow of this place. Others say that they can only stay for a little while. It will be interesting to see how this places shifts and changes with time as well as the experiences of others visiting.
You will notice the addition of the bamboo fence around the perimeter of the earthwork. This is because a flock of ten turkeys have decided that this is the place to be! Alex wants the grass to be able to grow, thus the container around the area. By the way… the medicine of Turkey is the “Give Away.” Indigenous people used the give away to ensure that everyone had enough. The turkey is also the medicine of mystics and saints. Turkey medicine acknowledges that all of life is sacred. (Taken from Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams & David Carson). You can feel that pulse of life when you walk into this space.
Here is the beautiful rock cairn in the adjacent field that Alex, Marc, and Jason built with the left over rocks from the base of the mounds. You can see the earthwork and obelisks in the background through the bamboo fencing.
On Sunday, September 22nd, in the evening…
I will be co-facilitating a simple dedication of this earthwork and a Fall Equinox ceremony with Alex and our mutual friend Marilyn Larson. If you are in the area and would like to be included, please private message me via the contact links on my website.

The Retiring of a Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • August 5, 2023
Labyrinths provide us with a path to practice change. Some labyrinths have withstood the passage of time for thousands of years. Others are here for just an afternoon, drawn in the sand at the edge of the ocean. Many modern labyrinths were meant to last for years, but because of unforeseen circumstances their time is shorter than intended. And they once again help us to practice letting go and giving thanks for the time they are with us. The Labyrinth of Life at the Sebastopol, California Teen Center reached such place of letting go and is at the end of one chapter and the beginning of another chapter that is yet unknown.

Making A Three Circuit Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • August 5, 2023
Sometimes... a labyrinth can take years to become a physical reality. In 2018 I met with my friend Deb,  to discuss her desire to have a labyrinth on the beautiful land she lives on. Despite our plans and several meetings, listening to the land and finding the right spot, the labyrinth did not come to fruition. Fast-forward five years and in the blink of an eye... it happened!
