Loyola Retreat House - Icon Retreat
Sunday, June 28, 3:00pm - Friday, July 3, 2:00pm
Paint a Byzantine-style icon with us! We offer a creative retreat for those who want to learn icon painting, regardless of artistic experience or spiritual background. We will use traditional duck egg tempera pigments and gold leaf on a gessoed wooden board panel. The icon will be fully completed about one month after the retreat when we gather to “anoint” and seal it with traditional oils. The retreat includes time for instruction in the tradition and meaning of icon writing, creation of the icon, personal reflection, daily Mass, prayer, and fellowship. Bring your creativity, an open mind, and a willingness to let the Spirit move! We are offering two retreats this year, one for new retreatants, and one for those who have enjoyed this retreat in the past. Both groups have a limited capacity of 12, so register early. 21 years and older required. All accommodations, meals, and materials are included in the price of the retreat. New Retreatants: June 28-July 3, 2026 Returning Retreatants: July 12-17, 2026 Register online or call us at 330.896.2315.
