'Icon Adventures: is exactly what it says.  A success at every level that I cannot recommend highly enough. I am so glad that I said yes to this opportunity...The whole experience was truly amazing and I cannot thank you enough for having made it possible’

‘Icon Adventure has been a wonderful and unique experience unlike any other. The combination of learning to write an icon whilst being within the context of its origin was outstanding. The approach to teaching the technique was pitched just right and appropriate for the variety of skills and confidence we all brought to the table. 
I particularly noticed the enormous amount of effort put in to making our adventure fulfilling and engaging and comfortable not to mention challenging, stretching and inspiring.
The willingness to generously share your expertise and God given talent has been such a motivator to wanting to learn more and explore the breadth and depth of writing icons. Thank you, Helen, for a truly amazing adventure’.

‘A wonderful trip! Loved every minute, but somewhat frustrated by the icon writing (now I know that I have no talent). But thank you, thank you again, for sharing your talent and hard work and joy in what you are doing with us all...The visit to St. Katherine's Monastery was very sacred and memorable. I sat in the Basilica for an hour, in awe of the crowds and just absorbing the atmosphere in that holy place. And to see those ancient icons was a dream fulfilled. It was also a wonderful opportunity to be there in the Sinai and to meet and know at least a little of the Bedouins who live there. "Icon Adventures" offers a truly once-in-a-lifetime sacred and practical experience'.

‘A big thank you for the Icon Adventure. It was truly a great experience, from the companionship of the group, to the daily progression of the icon and the memorable visit to the monastery...’

‘I like the combination of being by the sea and staying in the monastery in the mountains. No negatives! I would recommend this to others’.

‘Thank you Icon Adventures for the most wonderful holiday experience in Egypt. From learning how to ‘write’ an icon and use gold leaf to standing in front of the genuine 6th century icons at St Catherine’s Monastery was all simply amazing. The beautiful scenery of the Sinai and coast of Dahab was matched by the warm hospitality of the Bedouins. Starlit nights and underwater worlds made this well-organised trip an adventure I shall never forget!’

‘Going to Sinai was one of the best things I have done in a long time. I found it all very spiritual. The desert landscape brought the Old Testament to life –both physically and spiritually. All the staff at the hotel, from the Manager to the waiters, were all warm, friendly and very helpful. The ambience and setting of the hotel are all very conducive to chilling out. One felt not only very comfortable but secure and welcome too. I can’t wait to go back in 2011!’
