St. Edmund's Retreat Center, 1 Enders Island, Mystic, CT 06355

The Holy Family is a beloved image for many - offering a picture of the vocations of father, mother, and child.&nbsp; Saint Joseph was given the task of protecting Saint Mary and baby Jesus in the scriptures from King Herod, being told in a dream to take them to safety in Egypt during the Martyr of the Innocents.&nbsp; Saint Joseph serves as a model for both fatherhood and adopted fatherhood.&nbsp; This image is a wonderful piece to display in the home.&nbsp; We can see their example of family and model our own families.&nbsp; Joshua 24:15c KJV "&nbsp;but as for me and my house, we will serve the&nbsp;Lord."
"Oh, blest the house, whate'er befall,
Where Jesus Christ is all in all!
A home that is not wholly His --
How sad and poor and dark it is!"
Oh, Blest the House - Christoph Carl Ludwig von Pfeil 
This workshop will be a four layer technique illustration of the Holy Family in watercolor. Students start with a tracing of the original icon outline.&nbsp; We apply many layers to capture the depth and dimension, applying layers of red below the halos and gold background for warmth and shine.&nbsp; The painting itself follows a system of local color, shade, and light.&nbsp; The final image has golden accents.
For the class, students will produce a watercolor image with depth, dimension, and beauty to adorn the home or give as a gift on 14 x 11 paper.
All materials and tools needed to complete an icon are provided. Students should arrive with basic brush skills, a familiarity with the color wheel, and some experience mixing colors.
This week-long workshop begins with check-in at 4:30 PM on Sunday night, followed by dinner at 5:30 PM for students and instructors. Dinner will be followed by a workshop introduction and conference, which ends at 8:00 PM. You are welcome to attend daily Mass at 9 AM. Hands-on instruction begins Monday morning after Mass. The workshop concludes Friday at 1 PM.

This day will be a time to rest by the Ocean with like-minded people who enjoy the blessings of taking time on the journey of life. It might be called a time to re-boot the pace of daily life as we might re-boot a computer. Turn it off for five minutes. When it is turned back on it works well and smoothly. To help do this we will use the imaginative style of prayer taught by St. Ignatius. Bring your bible and your journal. There will be time for confession or -1- meetings.
We invite you to join us for Holy Mass in the Chapel at 9 AM. Check in will begin at 9:45. Coffee, tea and pastries will be available.&nbsp; &nbsp;Included in this day is a hot lunch. This will be served at 12:30 in the dining hall of the Enders House, an early 20th century arts and crafts style mansion and the oldest structure on the island.
