Where Art becomes Meditation
the work at sacred icon retreats
Personal Spiritual Discipline
Icon retreats offer a truly profound spiritual discipline that delves into the depths of our souls. It is the pursuit of spirituality and the recognition of our work as a sacred act of prayer.
Those who create sacred art are caught between individual expressions of our deepest insights and the audience for whom we are creating the work. Visual translations of mystical thoughts and doctrines are both changing this ancient art form of icon painting. As we design new icons, it is good to remember the roots of the practice. The prototype we use in the workshop is always an ancient image. When we paint from the earliest images available, we are closer to the source.
