Writing an icon: a human and spiritual adventure

‍

Writing icons: a path to oneself, a path to God

‍

In the monastic setting, combine the art of icon painting with fraternal and liturgical life in contact with the community.

You can enjoy the quiet setting and a discreet and warm welcome, and meet with a sister. No prior drawing experience is required.

Elena Passet was born in Russia in Acha, a "country town" at the foot of the Ural Mountains, between Europe and Asia. From an early age, she was passionate about drawing and painting. After studies that enabled her to teach drawing at the Lycée in Acha, she entered the pedagogical arts university of Ufa, from which she graduated (with honors) in artistic drawing, technical drawing, and visual arts. Married to a Frenchman, she now lives in Vercoiran in the Baronnies and gives lessons and workshops in drawing and painting.

Retreat open to anyone wishing to learn or develop their skills in icon writing according to the Russian tradition.
