It was Sunday morning, and time to check out of the resort and head back home. The afternoon before I had some free time, so I drove the short distance west to a very unique subdivision called Kayenta to wander through their Art Village and shopping area. I had visited a friend there back in about 2004, but I believe that the shops, theater, and art center were not yet built back then. Driving away in my car, I noticed that they also had a labyrinth, but I did not have time to visit it. So, as inspiration would have it, I decided to drive back over to Kayenta and walk their labyrinth before heading back to Cedar City.
Surrounding the Kayenta Desert Rose Labyrinth is a botanical garden and numerous works of art. Being a Sunday morning, the whole place was deserted and had an amazing feeling of peace and tranquility. Here are some of the sculptures around the property.
The labyrinth itself is a classical 11 circuit, which I think is the best kind. It is surrounded by benches, desert trees and shrubs, and some of the art work. As I did with the spiral labyrinth at the resort, I set my intent for release going in, and my intent for my positive outcome coming out. I walked very slowly, and got into an altered state of consciousness by doing so. Wow! What an experience! By the time I was done, I was floating. Here is the labyrinth from several angles.
As I sat on a bench collecting myself after this amazing experience, a desert cottontail popped out of the bushes. My Chinese astrological sign is the rabbit, and I took this to be a positive omen for my days of R & R in SW Utah!
