Does your own prayer life include art or icons?
Have you wondered why so many Christians find praying with icons helpful, and want to know more?
Join us for one or more mornings or evenings where we will learn about icons, how they can become ‘windows’ to the divine, how we can deepen our own prayer through Christian contemplation and spend time in prayer.
