A Spring Equinox Event will be held on Saturday 21 September at the Healesville Labyrinth Garden which is located at the Railway Precinct on Healesville-Kinglake Road.
Friends of the Healesville Labyrinth welcome community members to experience a joyous celebration of the delights of spring and to return many times in future for quiet reflection and meditation.
The proceedings will begin at 2pm with an impromptu Spring to Life Tableau.
Children wishing to take part should arrive by 1.45pm to select a winged costume.
Presentations about meanings behind the Aboriginal word Wominjeka and the place of Spring within the seven Aboriginal Seasons will be followed by a reflective walk.
Participants will carry leave as symbols to bring life to a central bare tree.
The following arts workshops from 3 to 5pm will invite participants to deepen their experience of the colour and energy of spring via painting of banners and butterflies, fashioning fabric in creative ways or leaping into action in and around a parachute to perform a butterfly dance.
You may wish to bring your own refreshments.
