A unique opportunity to explore and learn about the labyrinth through the ages - discover how to make them and actually construct a labyrinth - then walk the twists and turns of its convoluted pathway.
An opportunity to slow down, to quieten the mind, to relax, to meditate, to ground the body, to solve problems or simply to play, and enjoy a recreational experience.
You will also be given useful information sheets and diagrams to take away, on how to make your own labyrinth.

ART KIBBUTZ
Eden Village Camp, Putnam
NY, USA
Art Kibbutz's first pilot residency will take place May 1-22, 2013 at Eden Village, Putnam NY. The purpose of the residency program is to give creative responses to climate change, food security, and sustainable development - we welcome Jewish artists working outdoors. This revolutionary, unprecedented project will be a living model of a thriving, inspired, sustainable Jewish artistic community, grounded in social responsibility and vibrant spiritual life. While the experience will transform the artists by deepening their sense of personal purpose, contribution and Jewish identity, the artworks created will deepen the Jewish community’s commitment to healing the Planet. This project marks a significant step that Art Kibbutz is taking towards the creation of an international Jewish artist colony at a permanent location.

As some of you may know
Francis Carr died peacefully at home
on the 18th May
In celebration of his life The Tree of Life funeral (named after one of his earth works in Kazakhstan) will take place at West Norwood Cemetery which is reported to hold the finest collection of Victorian Gothic architecture in London and has also hosted a number of recent art events.
West Norwood Crematorium
Date : Saturday 1st June
Time: 11am (duration 45mins)
Getting There :
We are putting together a celebration of Francis' life in the spirit of Love and Creativity.
With this in mind we are marking the occasion with a Eulogy and asking people to join together with their personal dedications, wishes and thoughts. Please let us know as soon as possible if you wish to participate, roughly how much time you require, or if you would like something reading out so we can plan the day, many thanks.
There will also be an opportunity to write messages on the day which will be placed on the coffin
Dress Code: optional, wear what you like
Say It With Trees
Francis requested no flowers at his funeral and wanted people to donate to an environmental cause instead. In this spirit we have chosen to support The Woodland Trust
if you feel that you would like to be part of this please make your donation by 7th July which would have been his 94th birthday.
We have set up a group fund in the name of Francis Carr - Tree Of Life
Suggested Contribution : £5 - £15
The woodland dedication will support existing and new trees. The site we have chosen is near London and his ashes will be put by a selected marked tree. We will let you know where it is.
