1. The Freddy and Diana Prince Labyrinth Marker
In October of 2014, the artists of the Georgetown Lombard Arts and Humanities Program painted a navy blue labyrinth on the round outside of the 2CCC Surgery Center Waiting Room. The labyrinth is based on a 13th century design from the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Reims, France. Like the Reims model, The Freddy and Diana Prince Labyrinth at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital was constructed by a team of artisans working together to create a community space for mindfulness and contemplation.
The labyrinth is not a maze, but a meditation device designed to encourage people to take a break from the tensions of everyday life. Walking the turns and bends to the center and back again is a meditative practice that centers the body and quiets the mind.
We encourage everyone in our community - patients, caregivers, medical professionals, students and the general public to walk towards improved wellness while here at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
Erected by MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
