Creating meditative 'Circles in the Sand'

Sand artist Denny Dyke has been creating elaborate designs on the beach at Bandon, Oregon – twisting shapes that have drawn fans to walk his labyrinths before Nature washes them away. Correspondent Conor Knighton visits these temporary artworks that have become a spiritual ritual for many.

Like Buddhist sand-paintings...meditations on life's brevity.

People on the West Coast are a special breed. California: 840 miles of coastline, Oregon: 363 miles.

I was there last week for the July labyrinth. It was an overwhelmingly wonderful experience.

Very nice story. Would totally join if i lived there. Hopefully this becomes trend nation wide.... or even global. 👍

Gorgeous creations! Reminds me of Raku, impermanent like our bodies. Thanks for creating beauty, community, and opportunities for introspection💪❤️✨🌎

It’s beautiful and serene, but I’d prefer the dude with the pan flute leave that at home and let everyone relax and meditate with the sounds of nature surrounding them.

[perspicaciouscritic]

Great that they ended on a sand design.

[TheGuitarsquatch]

Going to a sand art gathering to play a pan flute is the most wildly Caucasian thing you can ever do.

Peeing circles in the sand is also very meditative.

I live in Florence Oregon and I think he did one of his labradorite? In front of Driftwood Shores Motel

Give it a couple years retired people will have moved their in droves and hike up the property values that it forces out the originators. A corporation buys it and charges people $100 to access the area

Tragic. Thoughts, prayers and condolences to that young lady for a life cut short.

It's nature, for a reason. Not the national parks responsibility to monitor the weather and determine participant's decision-making. That father needs to take responsibility and accept that it's an unpredictable tragedy.
