The Sacred Union Labyrinth at Woodford Folk Festival, Qld

Woodford Folk festival attracts 120,000 visitors over a six day period from 27th December to 1st January each year. For three years running Robin has coordinated and enjoyed immensely participating in creating ‘The Sacred Union Labyrinth’ as an art instillation and community ceremony space. It takes weeks of gathering materials, a full week to construct and one and a half days to return to nature at the end. Much maintenance is required to keep the space fresh and beautiful throughout the festival for literally thousands of people to walk. Four sacred ceremonies are held, where participants walk the Labyrinth to live music. The ceremonies are facilitated by Robin, Mark Healy, Christine Clegg, Stephane Cazard and Rob Clark.

‘The Joining’

Imagine 160 people gathered together for 3 days on the Spring Equinox, celebrating together, enjoying, learning and growing in workshops, swimming, dancing, participating in ceremonies and activities, honouring each other and exploring the meeting of Masculine and Feminine energies, with others and within oneself. This annual gathering is booked out this year, weeks before the event, but stay tuned to this evolving and culturally transformative community of people working from a deep hearted centre.
