🌍 Celebrate World Labyrinth Day at Malealea Lodge on 3rd May.
Posted on Thu May 1, 2025.
Walk for peace. Walk with purpose. Walk the path of transformation.
Every year on the first Saturday in May, people across the globe take part in World Labyrinth Day — walking labyrinths in a shared moment of mindfulness and intention. At Malealea Lodge, we’re proud to join this global celebration with our very own labyrinth — a truly unique creation made entirely from recycled wine bottles.
More than just a beautiful feature, our labyrinth is a symbol of sustainability, creativity, and community spirit. Each bottle tells a story — of evenings shared under the stars, guests from around the world, and the magic that happens when we find purpose in repurposing.
Whether you’re seeking peace, reflection, or a moment to connect with nature, we invite you to take a quiet walk through our labyrinth — where every curve leads you closer to clarity.
🕐Walk as One at 1
On this 17th annual World Labyrinth Day, many will walk a labyrinth at 1:00 p.m. local time to help create a rolling wave of peaceful energy passing from one time zone to the next around the globe.

We were invited to capture these powerful images of Basotho horsemen on their way to a funeral — a deeply moving procession steeped in culture and respect. Each man is dressed in traditional Basotho attire, wearing their iconic mokorotlo hats and distinctive wool blankets that tell a story of identity, heritage, and pride. It was a true privilege and honour to witness this moment of unity and tradition on horseback, set against...
