Portable Canvas Labyrinth

I can bring the canvas labyrinth to your venue for meditative walking and 'singing the labyrinth'. It is a 7 circuit classical labyrinth, carefully hand painted by volunteers onto artists canvas... the pattern is made of 'pebbles' inspired by beaches we have visited in Iona and Devon. Call Kay for more details.

Song of the Month
The Cotelands Croydon Lullaby
The words and tune for this song were written by the young mums (age 14-16yrs) as part of CRISP's Positive Activities for Young People project with teenage mums and mums-to-be.
Teenage mums get a bad reputation in the UK but this wonderful specialist Pupil Referral Unit has places for 40 babies, and most mums become responsible mothers, retaining care of their infants and going on to achieve well educationally.
For more info please contact CRISP Co-ordinator Catherine Pestano: catherine@naturalvoice.net
