Special Projects
Labyrinths are being built. Workshops are given. Programs are being developed for schools. TLS members all over the world are each doing their part to bring the labyrinth to a broad general audience. You can connect to information about a variety of these via the links in the lower area of this page.
The Labyrinth Society Special Projects Program
In order to extend an enhanced measure of support to our members’ activities, the Board of Directors decided to institute a Special Projects Committee in 2006, charged with oversight of a new Special Projects Program. The committee is now receiving, reviewing and approving application proposals from TLS members who are envisioning or currently organizing various labyrinth activities. If you are interested in serving on the Special Projects Committee, please contact the Special Projects Committee Chair.
Definition of a Special Project
A Special Project is a labyrinth-centered effort organized and implemented by a Labyrinth Society member that receives some form of support, assistance or endorsement from The Society. It will:
- Operate under the principles of our mission statement, “To support all those who create, maintain and use labyrinths, and to serve the global community by providing education, networking and opportunities to experience transformation.”
- Be community based; that is, it must expose communities to labyrinths and to TLS.
- Be clearly and thoroughly defined, with those who propose it willing to shoulder most of the work.
Project organizers interface with The Labyrinth Society through the Special Projects Chair and remain accountable to the Board of Directors for the life of the project. All members are eligible and encouraged to propose Special Projects.
Below are some examples of past and present Special Projects that have been endorsed by TLS.
