This is an exciting opportunity for TKF to partner with University of Maryland College Park in the creation of an Interfaith Garden of Remembrance and Labyrinth. The grant will go towards creating a large sacred space to include a labyrinth located adjacent to the University Chapel at the heart of the campus. The garden will serve multiple University populations in diverse ways, in providing a place of respite, healing, contemplation, and the opportunity to connect multiple groups and cultures with the campus population. The Student Affairs office is eager to explore programming opportunities for both the labyrinth and the greater memorial garden space that will encourage and embrace multiculturalism as well as stimulate people to take time for reflection and renewal. They recognize that the labyrinth use and impact will extend well beyond the chapel and counseling uses to become part of specific course work and as yet other unidentified learning experiences. They are also working with the UMCP landscape architecture students in the design process, creating a full circle effect on the project. The garden and labyrinth have the potential to affect a huge number of people, and it is our hope that it will serve as inspiration for other Universities and schools nationwide to consider their own interfaith campus greenspace.
