SACRED ICON - Made with the waters of an ancient spring, this essence embodies the spirit of a 12th century Eastern Orthodox stone Icon of the Sacred Mother and Child. Made within the walls of all ancient monastery, it teaches us how to experience that which is behind the spiritual image-the mysterious dance of emptiness and form, as all of creation, including ourselves, weaves in and out of manifestation. We enter the embrace of the Great Mother, who teaches us there is no separation, there is nothing to fear. In the great swirling movements of life and death, there is no loss, no abandonment, for we have never left home.
