“In a world filled with anxiety and mistrust, rage and hatred allow for a sheath of despair to cloud the mind.
This is a curse.
We often forget about the beauty in all things simple.
This is hope; Born from wishes.
When we are faced with obstacles it is like being trapped in our very own labyrinth. The feeling of not knowing where one is headed is a theme many can identify with. Confusion, panic, and fear are some of the emotions one may feel while trying to find ones way. The solution to the maze, as well as in life is patience, hope and a clear mind. Practice these things and the path becomes visible.”

City of Labyrinths
Toronto City of Labyrinths is a Project to create public labyrinths within walking distance of every Torontonian.
Labyrinths are placed in parks, public spaces, during neighbourhood street parties or major urban festivals like Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market.
