Dates and plans for 2007:
Please note: all the plans and scheduling here are subject to change. We will be finalizing the dates and details and updating this site as we proceed. For those of you involved last year, we are revising the structure of participation somewhat. The paid positions will be limited to the actual build, setup and strike. The week of workshopping will be on a volunteer basis for those of you who have participated in the past, and for a nominal fee for newcomers.

The Methods
We plan to continue the development of the labyrinth through several simultaneous explorations. Some participants may wish to contribute to the ongoing development of the paths and gardens. In general there will be a series of workshops wherein the text will be explored in the context of the structure itself.
All participants who join us are encouraged to get to know the overall work both in form and intent, and then to apply themselves to a part of the project that they find most interesting. (copies of the text will be made available) At times, all participants may be asked to help with a particular part of the project, as well as sharing in the preparation of food and keeping the site safe and welcoming.
If you are interested in participating in any way or have questions that are not answered in these pages, please send an email to Asterion
