SUMMARY:John Bell: Adventures in Eden (Bookings on hold)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]What do these stories in common: a woman who talks to snakes\, a fruit tree which ruins the taste buds\, a landlover who builds a floating zoo\, a world-beating political project which ruins the nation\, a god who prefers market gardening to shepherding? If you look in the first chapters of the book of Genesis\, you will find all these. But what have they to do with the earth’s ecosystem\, the rise of new empires\, the role of women and international relations? \nJohn Bell believes these ancient stories have profound truths which speak into the age we live in and the faith we share. \n  \nProgramme Leader \n \nJohn Bell is an ordained minister\, a member of the Iona Community and a writer and occasional broadcaster. He is a much-loved contributor at Greenbelt Festival. He teaches and lectures worldwide on issues of faith\, social justice\, music and liturgy. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCosts \n6 Nights: £960 per adult\, £480 concession. \nBookings for this week are currently on hold; please keep a look out on the website for updates\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Book Adventures in Eden” style=”custom” custom_text=”#666666″ css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fbooking-directly.com%2Fwidgets%2FZ8ayvaEvw2SsrbCpGHLzeQZxQGqxQJy163aSHXVJnHbgCb53vffml4WKihlt5%2Fproperties%2Funit-selection%3Fsearch_stay_dates%3D%257B%2522checkInDate%2522%253A%25222027-09-25%2522%252C%2522checkOutDate%2522%253A%25222027-10-01%2522%257D%26search_occupancies%3D%255B%257B%2522numberOfAdults%2522%253A2%252C%2522children%2522%253A%255B%255D%257D%255D|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]

SUMMARY:John Bell - Thinking Outside the Box (Bookings on hold)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Thinking Outside the Box is both about recognising what boxes our thoughts on matters of life and faith\, and seeing things from a different perspective. \nTogether\, we will explore what happens when we focus on the witness of women in the Bible rather than the experience of men; when we investigate the benefits of living on less rather than always expecting to acquire more; when we examine moments in history from the side of the losers rather than the winners. \nCome join us for a week of creative thinking\, defying the status quo\, letting go of the rule books\, and thinking outside the box. \n  \nProgramme Leaders \n \nJohn Bell is an ordained minister\, a member of the Iona Community and a writer and occasional broadcaster. He is a much-loved contributor at Greenbelt Festival. He teaches and lectures worldwide on issues of faith\, social justice\, music and liturgy. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCosts \n6 Nights: £960 per adult\, £480 concession. \nBookings for this week are currently on hold; please keep a look out on the website for updates\n[/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%2Fbooking-directly.com%2Fwidgets%2FZ8ayvaEvw2SsrbCpGHLzeQZxQGqxQJy163aSHXVJnHbgCb53vffml4WKihlt5%2Fproperties%2Funit-selection%3Fsearch_stay_dates%3D%257B%2522checkInDate%2522%253A%25222027-09-25%2522%252C%2522checkOutDate%2522%253A%25222027-10-01%2522%257D%26search_occupancies%3D%255B%257B%2522numberOfAdults%2522%253A2%252C%2522children%2522%253A%255B%255D%257D%255D|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]
