The Marcy Path to Peace and Terry Labyrinth Project transforms a space with a labyrinth as the focal point of a permanent Peace destination. The 2009-2010 Marcy Open Student Council chose the Terry Labyrinth’s problem-solving pattern, designed by Lisa Moriety, President of the Labyrinth Society. It represents a place of tranquility, contemplation and reflection not often available in society today. The Marcy Path to Peace is a pathway that leads in and out of the labyrinth.
Marcy builds peace, equality, and diversity into daily curriculum as an International Peace Site. Originally established in 1878 on 9th Street, then to the former site at 11th Street, Marcy’s current site, at 4th Street and 4th Ave S.E., has been vital to the Minneapolis Public Schools, Marcy Holmes Community and the City of Minneapolis.
Mark history and celebrate your support of Peace by purchasing a customized brick to be installed in the Marcy Path to Peace and Terry Labyrinth Project. Sparked by the spirit of Terry, a dedicated community member, the labyrinth is a unique, permanent tool and art installation that will welcome all people with an open, public space to gather, reflect, learn, de-stress, celebrate, problem solve and remember—all in the name of Peace.
