Vera de Cicco of New York City hosted a labyrinth walk on Wednesday, Sept. 7th. The walk was dedicated to the energy to water by having a vessel of water placed within the labyrinth. The space is in a dance room that is mirrored on one side, so the effect is doubled.

These two pieces are called "Ascent" and were placed outside of his studio next to a lake on 9/11, before it goes on a two month tour.

Marilyn Larson, Minnesota asked the following question, while walking 'Nature's Weaving Labyrinth' for the time on 9/10, "How can my energies best be used to help those in need? (Hurricane Survivors)." It came to Marilyn for her "to dedicate this labyrinth for that purpose and loan it to those who would use it to help raise funds and consciousness to support those in need."

Els van Lierop, Baarn, the Netherlands, together with her friend Else build this small labyrinth to commemorate all victims of the water disasters worldwide of this year. She writes: "The water connection is the small drinking place for the deer (with my dog in front, to show the dimensions correctly). I will walk it regularly and will continue building and maintaining it as best I can."

Deb Hansen hosted a labyrinth walk
in Michigan on September 11th. Deb says. "We had a lovely walk with live music provided by the family and friends of the music teacher from Concord Academy.  We placed a glass bowl with mud and debris on the left and another with flowers floating in pristine water on the right -- a reminder of both the destructive and healing power of water."
