$Mini-Retreat \u2022 Visio Divina: Praying with Icons$

Visio Divina: Praying with Icons
Icons have been part of Christian tradition since the 8th century, flourishing in the Byzantine Empire and continuing today as objects of prayer and contemplation.
We begin the program year with an invitation to “sacred seeing,” exploring visio divina as a form of contemplative practice. Guided by Laurie Muench, we’ll pray with Trinity’s own beautiful icons, as well as others she will share, opening ourselves to new ways of encountering the Spirit.
