Step into the luminous world of illumination painting
For centuries, ilumination painting has been a practice of patience, attention, and devotion. The careful lines, the gentle layering of color, and the application of gold create a natural atmosphere of focus and stillness.
This retreat is not only about learning a traditional art form. It is about slowing down, sitting with others in a shared creative space, and letting the steady rhythm of the work bring a sense of calm and clarity.
I’m Raquy Danziger. Studying this art form in the Islamic Art Academies in Istanbul has been a profound experience for me—one that has brought both beauty and inner quiet.
Now I’m bringing this tradition to upstate New York.
During this retreat, I will guide you step by step as you create your own illuminated painting.
No prior experience is needed—only patience, curiosity, and a willingness to be present with the process.

Painting Lessons
Recreating the atmosphere of studying in the Ottoman Medresse
Learn the history of Illumination painting and get to know some of the great Turkish Illuminists.
Delicious Vegan Meals
Live music evening entertainment by Raquy
