SUMMARY:Experience Easter on Iona (FULLY BOOKED)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\nExperience a special Holy Week on Iona\, where the land and sea scape will become our context for reconnecting with the events of Holy Week. \nDrawing on the idea of ‘Outside Holiness’ as explored by former Iona Community leaders\, in the prayers of George MacLeod and in the poetry of Kathy Galloway\, we’ll connect different locations across Iona with the events of Holy Week. \nThrough guided island pilgrimages\, reflective walking and sitting\, and outdoor worship\, we’ll discover how this ‘thin place’ opens us afresh to the story of service\, betrayal\, crucifixion and resurrection. \nJoin us as we explore the meanings of Easter within the walls of the Abbey and along the paths of holiness we shall discover in the wilder places of the island and of our hearts. \nProgramme facilitators\n\nCraig has been coming to Iona for over 25 years\, making many of those visits with his wife Meredith and their children Niamh and Euan. He is a Baptist Minister and College tutor in Wales\, and has been a member of the Iona Community for 15 years. In 2018 he published book based partly on his experiences of the Community\, Melodies of a New Monasticism: Bonhoeffer’s Vision & Iona’s Witness. In 2021\, he\, along with Wendy Lloyd\, helped lead the events of Holy Week on Iona\, and is very much looking forward to returning in 2026. \n  \n  \n\nWendy Lloyd has lived on the Isle of Mull since 2018\, where she runs a croft with her husband Jon. A qualified Mountain Leader\, she guides pilgrims on Mull and Iona through her project\, Mull Another Way and serves on the board of the Scottish Pilgrim Routes Forum. Wendy also works with both the Iona Community and the Guild of Health and St. Raphael. She holds a Masters in ‘Bible and the Contemporary World’ from the University of St Andrews and qualified as a Spiritual Director through Sarum College. \n  \n  \nCosts \n6 Nights: £870.00 per adult\, £435.00 for reduced rate.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”BOOK HERE” style=”custom” custom_background=”#568ea4″ custom_text=”#eae8e8″ css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fportal.freetobook.com%2Freservations%3Fw_id%3D43736%26w_tkn%3DZ8ayvaEvw2SsrbCpGHLzeQZxQGqxQJy163aSHXVJnHbgCb53vffml4WKihlt5%26checkIn%3D2026-04-01%26stayLength%3D6|target:_blank”][vc_btn title=”ESSENTIAL BOOKING INFORMATION” style=”custom” custom_background=”#568ea4″ custom_text=”#eae8e8″ 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:Experiencing Nature\, with Bob Gilbert (FULLY BOOKED)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\nExperiencing nature: exploring a spirituality of the environment. \nThrough direct experience of the natural world on Iona\, and an exploration of the place of nature in Christian tradition\, we will seek to explore an eco-spirituality appropriate for our times.  \nAt a time of deepening climate and biodiversity crisis we are in need of a new environmental spirituality. A spirituality that recognises the presence of God in all creation\, that can underpin our political and social action and sustain us in the face of eco-despair.   \nDuring this week we will discover some of the plants and birds around Iona Abbey and on pilgrimage. And we’ll hear the stories that have been woven around them. We will also explore the role of the natural world in Christian tradition.   \nAbove all\, we will reflect on how we can take these experiences home with us. We’ll find ways to be in closer relationship with the natural world\, wherever we happen to be\, even in the most unpromising surroundings.  \nProgramme leader \n\n\n \n\nBob Gilbert is an environmental writer and broadcaster\, his books include ‘The Green London Way\, ‘The Missing Musk‘ and ‘Ghost Trees’. His work for BBC Radio 4 includes ‘The Sussuration of Trees‘\, and ‘The Passion: a Pilgrimage in Plants’.
