SUMMARY:Practising Hope (limited availability)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\nThis week will invite us to explore the meaning and practice of hope from multiple dimensions—spiritual\, theological\, relational\, and communal. \nSet within the rhythms of community life at Iona Abbey\, the week offers a space for reflection\, worship\, and shared conversation rooted in the Iona Community’s commitment to justice\, peace\, and the renewal of all creation. \nThrough prayer\, group dialogue\, and intentional community living\, we will engage with hope not as a vague ideal\, but as a lived and transformative force in our lives and in the world. \nProgramme leaders \n\nJane Hodges is an Anglican priest and has served in an East End parish and is a prison chaplain. Prior to ordination Jane worked in housing and social care\, in inner city areas of Sheffield\, Manchester and London.  \nJane is a Member of the Iona Community and joint convenor of the London family group.  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n \n\nCatriona Robertson is a former warden of Iona Abbey and previously directed the Christian Muslim Forum. She’s inspired by Howard Thurman’s words\, ‘Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what brings you alive\, because what the world needs is people who are alive.’  \n  \n  \n  \n\nCosts \n\n6 Nights: £870 or £435 concession[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Book Here” style=”custom” custom_text=”#666666″ css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fportal.freetobook.com%2Freservations%3Fw_id%3D43736%26w_tkn%3DZ8ayvaEvw2SsrbCpGHLzeQZxQGqxQJy163aSHXVJnHbgCb53vffml4WKihlt5%26checkIn%3D2026-06-20%26stayLength%3D6|target:_blank” el_class=”tealbtn generalbtn”][vc_btn title=”Essential Booking Information” style=”custom” custom_text=”#666666″ css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fiona.org.uk%2Fvisit-and-stay%2Fiona-abbey-essential-booking-information-2026%2F|target:_blank” el_class=”tealoutlinebtn generalbtn rightbtn”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
