Five of my students joined me with their colorful lap harps to play at the outdoor Labyrinth Walk fundraiser for Project Labyrinth in Bellingham, WA for Summer Solstice 2009.
Here is what some of them experienced while creating and experiencing this sacred space:

Hello, Harpers. What a peaceful and enjoyable experience the Labyrinth Walk was! We provided the walkers with a pleasant background resonance as they meditated and communed with the sacred space. It was the first time I experienced what the wind could do to my harp strings as well; what a cool sensation that was. I had to look around me at first, wondering where that powerful, melodious hum was coming from. My backyard environment is too fenced in by trees to allow for the wind to reach the strings when I play outside. Here's hoping that Project Labyrinth is successful in establishing a permanent labyrinth there, and that we can all get together in the near future to share our harp experiences!
Gliss on!

I love the idea!
I had only been playing the harpcycle for a
couple of months and felt quite self conscious
when I stationed myself at the edge of the
labyrinth last June. But as I continued to play, the resonance of the strings gradually transformed me into a peaceful welcoming presence for the walkers.
The harp brings me home to myself every time
I get lost in her. How precious is that?
