SUMMARY:Columba Week (FULLY BOOKED)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Columba Week 7th – 13th June 2025 (FULLY BOOKED) \nFlawed\, ambitious and uniquely charismatic\, Saint Columba emerged from the sorrow of exile to become the foremost figure of his time\, spreading the gospel and establishing a thriving religious and creative community which one writer called “a beacon of enlightenment Christianity”. \nColumba’s legend is curiously modern. It challenges us to speak truth to power\, create genuine openness in our societies\, and do the hard work of peace-making in dark times.  Join us for a week of celebration\, investigation\, art\, creative writing\, and music.   \n Join us for a week of celebration\, storytelling\, song and playful contemplative practice.   \nProgramme leader \n \nRev. Simon Ruth de Voil is an interspiritual minister and musician. His musical and spiritual work explores themes of the inner landscape of the soul\, the enchantment of the natural world\, and the healing power of spiritual practice. As a chaplain and counsellor\, Simon helps individuals and groups connect sacred presence with everyday life.  You can view Simon’s website here.  \n  \n  \nWorkshop leader \n \nReverend Catherine Lomas was a parish priest in the Church of England until 2023. Now based in Wiltshire\, she is exploring a calling as full-time iconographer and sacred artist. She uses visual means to explore theology  and spirituality\, seeing our search for the Divine as sharing much in common with  humanity’s innate longing for beauty. She painted her first icon in 2016\, and now pursues her ministry through leading and speaking  about icons\, art and spirituality. More details at Catherine Mary Icons \n\n  \nCosts \n\n6 Nights: £846.00 per adult\, £423.00 for reduced rate – see our programme page for more information.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”BOOK HERE” style=”custom” custom_background=”#568ea4″ custom_text=”#eae8e8″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fportal.freetobook.com%2Freservations%3Fw_id%3D43736%26w_tkn%3DZ8ayvaEvw2SsrbCpGHLzeQZxQGqxQJy163aSHXVJnHbgCb53vffml4WKihlt5%26checkIn%3D2025-06-07%26stayLength%3D6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Iona Community Lecture 2025
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\nPOSTPONED\n\n\nWe regret to inform you that the Iona Community Lecture originally scheduled for Friday\, 13th June 2025 has been postponed due to unforeseen health concerns affecting our lecturers. \nTheGKexperience remain enthusiastic about delivering the lecture and we are working with them to reschedule it. Everyone who has booked will be notified as soon as a new date is confirmed. \nFurther updates will be shared here in due course. Thank you for your understanding. \n\n\n—————————————————————————————————— \nAlong for the journey\nWe’re delighted to bring you the 2025 Iona Community Lecture in partnership with theGKexperience (GK). GK have been coming to  Camas\, the Iona Community’s residential outdoor activity centre on the isle of Mull for many years. Like the Iona Community\, GK prioritises community\, making clear that ‘theGKexperience is not a programme but a community’. \nThe context\nIn this lecture\, GK Experience will delve into their long-term relational youth work approach. They will share how they support brilliant young people who face unfair barriers due to poverty\, inequality\, and injustice in Glasgow. Unpacking their ethos\, they will demonstrate how they actively challenge harmful assumptions. Assumptions that disregard\, stigmatise\, and label young people as no-hopers and troublemakers. Instead\, GK envisions these same young people as Scotland’s next generation of leaders. \nThe approach\nBoth leaders and young people will share their journeys—from being supported by GK to becoming adult volunteers themselves. Key to their approach is a deep commitment to: \n\nlistening to young people\,\nunderstanding their context and behaviours\,\nremaining flexible\, and\nproviding meaningful opportunities for responsibility and leadership.\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_media_grid css=”” grid_id=”vc_gid:1749720676794-3e44aa74-dce8-1″ include=”37982\,37983\,37984″][vc_column_text css=””]\nFacilitators\ntheGKexperience is a youth work charity in Glasgow and the wider area. Founded on the belief that all young people are brilliant\, and that they all deserve the same opportunities to succeed\, they work to make their aspirations a reality. They build long-term trusting and respectful relationships with young people and their families over years. They prioritise listening to their voices and are welcomed by them to offer support. GK are persistent in their engagement\, love\, and support\, especially if it becomes difficult due the barriers they face. Working alongside young people in their local settings and outdoor residential and wilderness experiences\, they help them to soar.  GK provide an integrated model of support across 4 areas: Residential experiences\, local community work\, a young leaders programme and tailored individual support. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
