present their “Body Forward” research project and
the robot to the visitors.

 PRAYING WITH ICONS
Icons are religious images, primarily of Christ, but also of Mary and the saints. They are
painted in a conventional model of symbolism and are visual expressions of a deeper reality.
Sr. Antonia Cooper will guide us through a brief background and history of icons, including
the theology of the symbols and colors. Using two of her own icons, Sr. Antonia will share
the process of “writing an icon” in the Russian tradition. Each participant will have an
opportunity to spend some time in interior solitude with the “prayer of gazing” before an
icon.

Space is limited to 30 participants/registration encouraged
