PARKSVILLE — A colourful and elaborate labyrinth located on Parksville’s waterfront was recently renewed with a fresh coat of paint and new artwork, thanks to dedicated community members.
Located at the east end of the boardwalk inside their community park, the Parksville labyrinth recently received its third renewal since it was first completed over a decade ago.
Mark Desvaux is part of the labyrinth team and said he first began walking it several years ago after his wife passed away to help work through his grief, finding peaceful inspiration from the images and words of affirmation.
“People call it a maze, but it’s a bit more than a maze. People use it for many, many different reasons. A lot of people use it for pain meditation. A lot of doctors are saying that walking meditation is one of the best things you can do…combining exercise with meditation.”
