What happens here
The Johns Hopkins Department of Spiritual Care runs a variety of events and programs on the labyrinth for hospital staff, visitors, patients, and the wider Baltimore community. Light the Labyrinth, the Celebration of Light and Culture, and yoga are among them.
HOW IT CAME TO BE
Two professions on one path.
01
The Need
Patients, staff, and the surrounding community all needed a message of hope and healing they could reach on foot.
02
The Vision
The project unites the health care and spiritual care professions to help community members achieve healing and relaxation, reaching out through the labyrinth while offering an opportunity for relaxation and peace.
03
The Transformation
The labyrinth was created as the project's central gesture, and has since become a venue for regular programming.
