Having a labyrinth
at the John George Psychiatric Pavilion-
of the Alameda County Medical Center
in San Leandro, CA,
has been a long, heart felt desire of
their Occupational Therapy Manager,
Terri Daugherty, OTR/L
When Guy Qvistgaard
came on board as the
JGPP Hospital Administrator,
Terri's dream
became a reality...
I had the honor
and privilege to design
a one-of-a kind labyrinth
that fits into their existing courtyard
and grove of magnolia trees...
With pops of rainbows
for patients and staff
to pause upon
as they make their way
through the meandering path
to the spiral center...
this labyrinth
speaks to the path of healing
in mind, spirit, and in body...
It is a place for time
out of time...
a place to find peace
out of chaos,
and to touch into nature...
Many of the incredible staff at JGPP
assisted in making this labyrinth...
Before...
After...
Including my longtime
friend Dr. Joyce Moulden
who's help I could not have done without!
Check out Francesca's
innovative support
for the detailed taping after
I laid down the blue defining tape!
from our
"bend and snap"
to...
the paint beneath our feet...
This labyrinth
was a joy to create!

What a joyous event. I'm so happy for all those who not only worked on its creation but the many in the future who will have the peace and pleasure of experiencing it.
