29th October 2003 Margie’s work with the labyrinth continues to evolve. Her interest in introducing this grounding tool to the peace & justice communities led her to produce several Community Labyrinth Peace Walks in the first half of 2003. Out of those events, the East Bay Labyrinth Project was formed. This organization of volunteers is dedicated to installing a stone labyrinth in a public and accessible site in Berkeley, CA. Her appearances will continue to reflect her work as an organizer as well as a musician.

I will write a blow-by-blow on this page in the near future, but for now, I want to post three… Read More

March 22nd, 2003 Dear friends – I can think of no better way to communicate how strongly I feel about holding on to the solid ground of hope and the dream of global reconciliation than to share this poem. I am reading this out loud whenever I get a chance. For Peace- Wage Peace by Judyth Hill, September 11, 2001 Wage Peace with your breath. Breathe in firemen and rubble.
