- 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.

- 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.
