About this trip

Please join us for a five-day icon retreat with Fr. Damian Higgins. Fr. Damian is a gifted artist and teacher. He has been painting icons for his monastery and for churches and homes around the world for nearly 30 years. He began teaching the process at the request of those who felt drawn to the depth and beauty of the art form and wanted to understand more about its spirituality and theology.  --  During this retreat, you will learn about the ancient art of icon making and Fr. Damian will guide the group as everyone creates their own icon. There is no prior experience necessary in order to attend this retreat. The cost of the retreat includes meals and lodging.

A peaceful, joyful contemplative event to begin the Advent season! The Taize service fed my soul and the wonderful St. Francis Springs kitchen staff fed our physical bodies as well with a delicious meal afterwards!

St. Francis Springs is my go-to place whenever I need to step out of the noise and busyness of life and find a place for solitude. The staff is amazing, the meals are delicious and the quiet beauty of nature that surrounds you is soul-nourishing.

This was a single-day event for me. It was well-done, length of time of the session was good, excellent speaker/moderator. The quiet atmosphere at St. Francis Springs was perfect for a World Peace Day event.
