When I make my first Labyrinth on Mars, it may look like this . . .
Looking closely at the Centre of the Vancouver Public Labyrinth, it appears the giant dinosaur egg sized stone I placed right in the middle has gone AWOL.
Aw well.
I’d like to replace it once I am back there.
Now I wonder how the experience of arriving at The Centre, the Goal of the Labyrinth, has changed for Vancouver’s Labyrinth Walkers?
That’s me and my friend Uthman walking my Chalk Labyrinth I drew over the weekend in Olympic Village, Vancouver…
“At Embodied~Play,
one of the common experiences we have is to approach our own edges,
not just the children, but also the adults.
What are we comfortable with?
What newness can we try today?
What do we need to approach this edge?
Do we need trust, autonomy, spotting, space, slowness, a hand held, a watching eye, a team?
Each child has different edges,
and so this is where a flexible container really helps,
and where structured activities or one site-fits-all rules can really be a disservice to our children’s learning.
Embodied play, big impact, exploring space and our own boundaries, trusting our bodies and our judgement.”
Had to do a double-take looking at this Labyrinth image . . .
I Know this is my Robson Square Painted Labyrinth, yet the point of view is a new one for me.
Vantage point is Howe Street, looking south west, into Robson Square proper.
A most unusual perspective!
