One mile west of the mall.
01
The Need
This 500-acre passive recreational facility sits one mile west of the Annapolis Mall and is one of the few open-space resources in the area.
02
The Vision
The Sacred Place was placed on a secluded lake overlook, which is what creates the quiet, contemplative environment.
03
The Transformation
From the overlook, the only views and sounds are of the nature surrounding the space.

HEAR FROM THE VISITORS
From the Little Yellow Journal
Muddy ground squishing beneath my feet. The sun shining high above the clouds. Touching my soft warm skin. Making me feel full of joy.
