2	"A PLACE OF PEACE" A PLACE OF PEACE A Place of Peace is the vision the Benedictine Sisters of Virginia have for the environs surrounding their monastery in Bristow, Virginia where they have lived and worked for 111 years. This vision includes the construction of a labyrinth and the enhancement of existing features. The goal is to create an environment that will provide a meaningful spiritual experience, a sense of peace, and a renewed spiritual awakening to all who come to be renewed. Among the features for A PLACE OF PEACE will be the gardens, a labyrinth, peace silos, St. Benedict Shrine, the grotto, Stations of the Cross within the cedar grove, the Immaculate Conception Chapel, areas for family activities, and meandering natural trails. It is intended that this prospectus will provide the reader with all necessary information required to understand the vision and to motivate an interest in providing assistance.

4	"Labyrinth" Labyrinth An integral part of A PLACE OF PEACE is the construction of a labyrinth which will add balance to the overall design and offer the visitor the opportunity for a meaningful spiritual experience. Labyrinths have been used in Western cultures for over 4000 years, and their use generally has been associated with the spiritual realm of the human experience. Through them benefits may be realized in the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of daily life.
