“I had the privilege of attending the “Crossing the Threshold” weekend from Birthing from Within in Vancouver.

I am in love with their philosophy and approach and I couldn’t be happier I attended.

As a First Nations woman and physician, it isn’t easy to ever feel fully “at home” in any type of training I attend, but this one had all the feels.

It informs not only how I work with birthing families, but my entire way of practicing medicine and being a human.

I was blown away by the weekend and the amount of reflection, compassion, and transformation they packed into such a short period of time.

I am standing in the middle of this Labyrinth in this photo, and I have loved learning more about the symbolism of this ancient path.

The First Nations Health Authority generously sponsored my attendance to this training without question.

It is serendipitous and perfect everything came together for me to attend, as it is exactly what my soul needed in this moment. 🌀🌱✨”

Something different.

Black and white photos of the subject sitting on a chair in the centre of my Multi-Colour painted Labyrinth in Robson Square in Downtown Vancouver . . .

Can’t recall seeing my Labyrinth in Black and White this way.

Every time someone walks a Labyrinth, the exploration, the experience remains unique and never quite repeats.

Likewise with me seeing how people interact, use, reuse, walk, the different Labyrinths I make in Vancouver and Toronto . . .

In the now removed wading pool in Bellevue Square Park, I had painted the concentric circles of that Labyrinth in a wavy twisty style. The idea was to mimic the look of the Labyrinth under water, for when the wading pool was water-free, which was most of the year. It didn’t work out so well […]

In the now removed wading pool in Bellevue Square Park, I had painted the concentric circles of that Labyrinth in a wavy twisty style.

The idea was to mimic the look of the Labyrinth under water, for when the wading pool was water-free, which was most of the year.

It didn’t work out so well visually, and walkably, without the water.

I never painted another Labyrinth like that again.

The arcs of my Wading Pool Labyrinth appear wavy in Christie Pits Park, that’s the water doing that.

The Labyrinth here is indeed comprised of concentric circles.

This was the final Labyrinth I painted on the July 2019 Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market. It’s located on Kensington Avenue, placed mostly in front of a laneway exiting onto the street.

This was the final Labyrinth I painted on the July 2019 Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market.

It’s located on Kensington Avenue, placed mostly in front of a laneway exiting onto the street.

The asphalt is crackly and didn’t make a very good candidate for a Street Labyrinth canvas.

Yet because it is in front of a no parking zone, due to the laneway exit, it is an ideal location for a Labyrinth that can remain car-free at all hours outside of Pedestrian Sunday.

Wading Pools double as Public Spaces where Toronto’s Little Ones can safely learn how to ride a bicycle, at their own pace, away from traffic.

Akin to kids learning taking their first steps safely in water, before entering the shallow ends of larger public swimming pools.

Wading Pools where I have painted Labyrinths, like this one in Eglinton Park in Midtown Toronto, become triply valuable…

  • Wading Pool
  • Velodrome for Tricycles
  • Labyrinth
