We invite you to plan your 2013 vacation around this remarkable Gathering offering. It is easy to spend 1-2 weeks on Vancouver Island touring, exploring and relaxing. Arriving in Victoria by plane or ferry on the 14th or 15th of September will give you a chance to explore this charming capital city, prior to beginning the Vancouver Island Pre-Gathering Labyrinth Pilgrimage.
On September 16, 2013, Victoria labyrinth friends will host local labyrinth pilgrimages and welcome you to the Island. You have the option of renting a car and following the pilgrimage maps at your own leisure or joining the organized pilgrimage on September 17th which will take you on this 3-day magnificent winding labyrinth journey up Island through vineyards, lavender fields, an eco-village and First Nations territory.
What you might see on your Pre-Gathering Tour through Cowichan - Video
Like a labyrinth, simply by putting one foot in front of the other and meeting others along the way, you will eventually reach the centre. From Thursday, September 19 to Saturday, September 21, 2013, at the Tigh Na Mara Resort, Parksville, BC, you can spend time receiving, sharing and marvelling at the gifts to be offered and created together during Gathering 2013.
Events are planned around the tides, the full moon and the Autumnal Equinox. This incredible journey continues on September 21 and 22 as you return from the centre along a post-Gathering path that winds its way North and West. Explore the beauty of the rain forests, world class beaches, and breathtaking mountain views, intermingled with labyrinth experiences. Be part of creating unforgettable journeys and friendships on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada; find labyrinths for global healing, landscapes for the soul.
Those whose time is more limited will also be able to experience the magic of Vancouver Island and participate in this dynamic Gathering on the beach! Plan to arrive in Nanaimo or Victoria by plane or ferry, or Comox by plane on Wednesday September 18, and spend luxurious nights at the Tigh Na Mara Resort or camp next door at Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park. This option offers the opportunity to join our pre-Gathering tour in Nanaimo from 9:00 am -1:00 pm or pre-Gathering workshops on Thursday September 19, prior to afternoon registration for the main Gathering.
