No prior experience is necessary for painting a Byzantine style icon, the retreat is for all skill levels. Those who are beginning the journey or want to expand their learning, all are welcome, regardless of artistic experience or spiritual background. The medium is traditional egg tempera pigments and gold leaf on a wooden board panel, all materials are natural and included in the price.

Master instructor and author, Mary Jane Miller, will lead us through step by step instruction with demonstrations that will gently and joyfully shepherd you through the process.

Great instruction and exchanges always arise at these workshops, the subject and tradition make for a fascinating mix of ancient technique and contemporary revival of eternal wisdom. Do not miss this opportunity to take time out from your busy life, to accept some instruction and meditate on what an amazing thing it is to be alive and here now.
