Lenten Retreat - Seeing the Divine: Icons and Visual Prayer

Lenten Retreat - Seeing the Divine: Icons and Visual Prayer

hero

About

Our retreat facilitator, The Rev. Canon Mary Brennan Thorpe, will give us insight into the experience of Orthodox icons. We will explore the history of iconography, the hidden meanings, the surprises that each icon brings, and the varied theological views of encountering this form of art/prayer.

This is not a class in how to write icons: that’s a task for another day. This is a retreat to discover how to read icons, and how we can encounter the divine – indeed, the Divine Mystery – through the practice of studying icons and seeing what the Spirit draws us to see.

Check in for the retreat begins at 4 p.m. on Friday.

The cost for this retreat is $120 per person for double occupancy rooms and $145 per person for single occupancy rooms.
