February 21, 2015 – February 27, 2015
Extend your retreat for an extra day! Arrive early on Feb. 20 and Kanuga will provide lodging, breakfast and lunch.
Experience the compelling practice of painting an icon using techniques developed before the year 1000 A.D. Using gold leaf and egg tempera on gessoed boards, instructor Suzanne Schleck guides you through a week of art and prayer. You may choose to paint an icon of St. Christopher or the Holy Face of Jesus. Schleck has studied iconography for more than 20 years and welcomes experienced artists as well as beginners.
Days begin with an early morning Eucharist followed by an anointing of hands in the studio. Noonday prayers are said before lunch and each day ends with evening prayer in Kanuga’s Chapel of the Transfiguration.
Space is limited to 30 participants.
