The Build Process for the Spiral Beyond Shame Labyrinth
When shame curls you into a ball, the only way forward is through. A 12-hour build time created this Alchemy 2024 art installation, which was first conceived while processing the emotion of shame during a 15-month program around Brené Brown’s book “Atlas of the Heart”.
Elemental Stations of the Spiral Beyond Shame Labyrinth
When shame curls you into a ball, the only way forward is through, and four elemental stations—The Air Pod Listens, Mist Emotions, Grounding Patterns, and Global Warming—will help you process the journey.
Spiral Beyond Shame Labyrinth
When shame curls you into a ball, the only way forward is through. When your face flushes and your insides twist, the only way forward is through. When every footfall feels like stepping in hot lava, the only way forward is through.

Change is essentially creative, even when it’s destructive. The Enrichment Project coalesced around paradoxes like this one.
Walkers Welcome
For me, a labyrinth is a pattern that encourages reflection on my repetitive thoughts. What stories am I retelling? What habits am I building? Another blind spot seems to be just beyond the next twist in the path.
