This Spring 2020 the Spiritual Center is offering a unique look into the spiritual practice of Icon Painting about women with Mary Jane Miller. The group will work together over 5 days to strengthen the relationship between body, mind, spirit and creativity. The benefit is in re framing our understanding of ourselves as spirit through the image painted.
