Begin your All Saints’ Day weekend with a contemplative evening of prayer and reflection. Sharon Henthorn-Iwane, iconographer and spiritual director, will introduce the ancient Christian practice of praying with icons—a form of prayer that weaves together Scripture, art, and worship. Through visual examples and guided prayer, Sharon will offer an accessible and enriching experience for people from all traditions.

Come to slow down, encounter God through beauty, and explore a centuries-old spiritual discipline.

Explore the ancient, prayerful art of iconography in this hands-on workshop with iconographer and spiritual director Sharon Henthorn-Iwane. Rooted in Scripture and centuries of tradition, icon writing is more than art—it’s a spiritual discipline that invites prayer, focus, and connection with God.

Participants will create a personal icon triptych using traditional techniques like gold leaf application, color mixing, and design transfer. No art experience is needed—just a willingness to engage creatively and spiritually. The workshop will close with a time of prayerful reflection.
