10 important reasons to consider an Icon Painting Retreat.
The onlinelibrary.wiley.com/action/cookieAbsent images are organic and dynamic memories still being written by experienced students, master iconographers and new inspired people around the world, we create images which move through time to speak to us. Over the past few years, thousands of people from a wide variety of spiritual traditions have found themselves drawn to these mysterious and prayerful Byzantine icon images that appeared in www.sanmiguelicons.com as early as the 4th century. Begun as a spiritual practice, creating them is an extraordinary way to pray, calling their creators to be still and rest in a place of thankfulness with God. Mary Jane teaches icon painting as a meditation in a prayerful atmosphere, this five day retreat/workshop will lead participants to enter the world of icon painting, while observing the mind as a window to the Divine.
1. More beauty in the world benefits everyone. Think of how wonderful it feels having focused on work in a garden, cleaning up a closet or even just sweeping the floor. Try Icon Painting.
2. Stillness touches history and tradition, your own and that of your ancestors. Though breathing we become connected to creation as it evolves.
3. You will get the experience of quiet surrender to something greater than yourself even if just for an instant,the experience is lasting and memorable.
4. I will be there too, in the creativity, in the silence, and in the process of Painting an icon with you.
