Description
EN
The eleven circuit Bon Secours Labyrinth is the focal point of a one-acre sacred space surrounded by tall shade trees, plants, flowers and meditation benches. The Bon Secours Spiritual Center is used by many diverse groups for meetings, seminars and conferences. The labyrinth at Bon Secours is based on the design of the eleven-circuit labyrinth on the floor of the Cathedral of Chartres, built around 1220.
This area is a "Sacred Grove" and considered a place of silence, reflection, restoration and discernment. The space seems to beckon people from all walks of life--young and old, men, women and children of many ethnic backgrounds and faith traditions.
When you enter the driveway, you'll see signs that may make you feel you shouldn't proceed. You may, however, access the grounds for the purpose of visiting the labyrinth. Be sure to park at the recommended coordinates. Signs for Visitor Parking will direct you, as well. Please treat the area respectfully and in the manner in which it is intended. Unless you have other business at Bon Secours, please do not roam the grounds.
Logging Requirement:
1. Visit the site in person.
2. Please post a photo of you / your GPS / other geocaching specific item with the bench.
3. You will also need to enter a Log Password to claim this cache.
The Log Password for this cache will involve collecting three bits of information and doing some simple math. You'll need to answer the following questions...
1) How many of parking spots are available at the listed parking coordinates?
2) Take the pathway that starts at the listed trail head coordinates. How many "bricks" make up each square, along the path?
3) How many bricks wide is the main pathways of the labyrinth (not the turns or the center).
Multiply the 3 answers together and that will be the password.
If you have any issues with the Log Password, just let me know.
OPTIONAL -
Sign the Sacred Spaces Guest Book.
Though, I can't figure a way to require (in any verifiable way) finders to actually walk the labyrinth, but I would highly recommend doing so.
This bench and journal was placed as part of the Sacred Spaces program of Nature Sacred which has helped develop such places in the Baltimore, Washington and Annapolis areas.
