Walking Sticks
A combined approach of burning, carving, and embellishment release totem animals and beautiful designs from these artful walking sticks.
Made from Curly Willow branches up to six feet long, these sticks connect with the Earth in a spiral fashion. By holding the staff loosely in your hand it can actually be "played" as you swirl it on it's tip, from lower to higher tones.
Each staff is made with the recipient in mind allowing forms and visual elements to evolve that work specifically for that person. For this reason gems and metals may also be added and sometimes the wood may be tinted with color.
Sticks may bear an intention or map of the holder's beliefs so that every time t is tapped or swirled or the ground it works like a prayer wheel to release the energies of the stick.
Curly Willow is a strong flexible wod that gives
the user a feeling of having a banister on every
path travelled.

Labyrinths There are countless ways to enjoy labyrinths. The 40'x40' backyard labyrinth fesatured in this short video offers more than 1250 linear feet of path through the nature sounds of a quiet space. One may also sit on the porch and trace the path with their eyes creating an opportunity to quietly center. Labyrinths also provide a low maintenance landscape that is a real conversation piece.
More About Labyrinths
Labyrinths represent
journeys...journeys within, with others, special journeys,
journey into the silence,
with nature.
There are no "dead-ends" in labyrinths. They are not intended to trick the mind but to center it.
Group Labyrinths provide opportunity for reflection as the pieces come together and the path is formed. When people come together for the purpose of construction and walking lanyrinths, they not only experience peace as they collaborate but share in one another's creative energy.
Labyrinths date back thousands of years in myriad cultures and belief systems. They were used as symbolic travel when physical travel was impractical. When one makes a turn on the path of a labyrinth the dominant processing of energy moved from one side of the brain to the other. This bi-lateral stimulation brings peace, balance and harmony to the user.
