"Icons are not simply beautiful works of art which have certain aesthetic and didactic functions. They are primarily the means through which we experience the reality of the Heavenly Kingdom on earth. The holy icons enshrine the immeasurable depth of the mystery of Christ's incarnation." (orthodoxinfo.com/general/orthodoxy.aspx)
"An icon is an encounter between the person represented and the viewer. One gazing at an icon is drawn into communion and relationship with the person represented, who gazes back at the viewer."
"An icon is an encounter between the person represented and the viewer. One gazing at an icon is drawn into communion and relationship with the person represented, who gazes back at the viewer."
To work on an icon, is a sacred privilege, and it is an act of prayer. Thus, each day of the workshop will begin with prayer. You are invited to participate in the divine dialogue between God's Kingdom and human understanding through an encounter with Jesus Christ in the unfolding of His image before you.
Our instructor is Kathy Sievers of Elizabeth The Wonderworker Studio.
She is an iconographer from Oregon with extensive experience in both the writing of icons as well as teaching iconography students. Our rector, The Rev. Dr. Kathryn White, has studied with Kathy in January of both 2010 and 2011. You are invited to participate in the divine dialogue between God's Kingdom and human understanding through an encounter with Jesus Christ in the unfolding of His image before you.
October is a wonderful month on the prairie, and the Christ Campus Spirituality Center is pleased to host these retreats. Persons of all denominations are invited to participate.
