It'd been over three months since the L1flashmob (see http://www.dream.uk.net/guerrilla-worship/liverpool-one-flash-mob.html), so we were ready for some more Guerrilla Worship ... this time we went to the beach! On Saturday July 18th, we met up and walked through a 32 metre prayer labyrinth drawn in the sand at 'Another Place' with some creative reflections along the path.
Participants were encouraged to bring a camera and upload the photos into the resources section of this site. While we've produced a slideshow record of the event, the photos are available for anyone to download and have a go at turning into a video.

This feedback from a friend who didn't make it down until later in the afternoon: "Thanks for telling me about the labyrinth - I needed to get my head round some stuff and it really helped to focus on the cross."
The video has caught the event really well. For the time it was there the labyrinth really was 'holy' ground and a space for some quiet and serious meditation.
Well done guys, looks beautiful- some really good ideas which we may well feed back into our next beach labyrinth at Putsborough in North Devon in September... i really like the buried reflections- something you need to search out, they also maintain the visual simplicity of the labyrinth for people to see.
great idea to invite participants to take pics and upload them- it broadens the sense of involvement and improves the chance of getting good pictures!
Thankyou! We are part of a church in Aberdeenshire called Garioch Church. Last Sunday, at the start of Holy week, we did a beach labyrinth at Balmedie beach. Thankyou - we used your design and instructions. We also adapted the cards you helpfully put out to include some sections for the children to use and linked it to palm sunday. Here are some photos: tinyurl.com/balmedie-beach It went really well and those that managed to come thought it was fantastic. A number of people at the beach also participated. Unfortunately, due to the easter hols, many people were away but we are thinking of repeating it again in May.

Such a lovely spot! It's really encouraging to see the Guerrilla Worship resources being used by others - thanks for your feedback.
