Description of Retreats & Workshops


Over the past few years, thousands of people from a wide variety of spiritual traditions have found themselves drawn to the mysterious and prayerful images found in the icons of Eastern Christianity. Until recently, few icon painters were accessible. Even fewer were willing to teach others this ancient art. But now your diocese, parish, retreat house or other organization can sponsor a Retreat or Workshop at your own facilities.

Each Retreat or Workshop participant will experience the following:


Step by step instructions to start and complete an icon. All the materials will be provided.

Discussion of:

  • The development of iconography
  • The spirituality of creating an icon
  • Praying with icons
  • A number of related issues

Additional materials and texts to further the pursuit of iconography will be made available.
Every session begins and ends with prayer. This includes a blessing of the icons created during our time together.
