SUMMARY:Experience Easter on Iona
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]24th March – 30th March 2027 \n‘Easter could be the annual affirmation of our ongoing resurrection from violence to peace\, from fear to faith\, from hostility to love\, from a culture of consumption to a culture of stewardship and generosity … and in all these ways and more\, from death to life. What if our celebration of Easter was so radical in its meaning that it tempted tyrants and dictators everywhere to make it illegal\, because it represents the ultimate scandal: an annual call for creative and peaceful insurrection against all status quos based on fear\, hostility\, exclusion\, and violence?’ – Author and Activist Brian McLaren \nJoin us this year for deep reflection and joyful celebration as we journey through Holy Week together and take the transformative hope of Easter into our lives and our world. \nMore information on programme facilitators to follow soon. \nCosts \n6 Nights: £960 per adult\, £480 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%2Fbooking-directly.com%2Fwidgets%2FZ8ayvaEvw2SsrbCpGHLzeQZxQGqxQJy163aSHXVJnHbgCb53vffml4WKihlt5%2Fproperties%2Funit-selection%3Fsearch_stay_dates%3D%257B%2522checkInDate%2522%253A%25222027-03-24%2522%252C%2522checkOutDate%2522%253A%25222027-03-30%2522%257D%26search_occupancies%3D%255B%257B%2522numberOfAdults%2522%253A2%252C%2522children%2522%253A%255B%255D%257D%255D|target:_blank|rel:nofollow” 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-2027%2F|target:_blank” el_class=”tealoutlinebtn generalbtn rightbtn”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Moving in a Just World
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]We live in a world where human rights are deliberately dismantled for monetary gains\, a world increasingly reliant on technology and targeted algorithms which distance us from our humanity\, a world in which powerful people accumulate wealth and resources for their personal gain only. Those who cannot keep up are left behind. \nHow do we move in a world like that? How can we move differently? How can we cultivate empathy and justice\, equality and connection with nature\, faith in the world\, and each other? \nThrough the medium of dance\, we will explore how movement can be a medicine for our humanity\, how it can help us discover freedom\, and how it connects us to our community and our environment. \nProgramme leaders Nada and Catherine will interweave elements of movement with the story of the indigenous people of Palestine. Nada will draw from her own family history and deep connection to Palestine. Catherine and Nada both believe that movement and dance can help us find a way to live well in a complex world. Nada says: “When I dance\, it instantly brings me a feeling of equality\, without the barriers that comes with having a disability\, as well as the freedom from the oppressive nature of being colonised and oppressed as a Palestinian.” \nWhether you are an experienced dancer or think you have two left feet\, this programme is designed to be accessible for all. Come and join us to explore how justice and movement connect in a week of joyful community and deep connection. \n  \nProgramme Leaders \n \nNada Shawa is a Palestinian dancer and writer from Gaza. Born with Cerebral Palsy\, she was schooled and treated for her condition when she came to Scotland\, without her family at the age of eight. Nada was unable to return to Palestine due to the dangererous situation under the Israeli occupation. She graduated from the University of Edinburgh with an honours degree. She has been invited to perform at multiple solidarity fundraisers. Nada has performed widely dance and her own written material at multiple International arts festivals\, including the Edinburgh International Festival\, the Scottish International Storytelling Festival\, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival\, and the Edinburgh International Book Festival. She explores themes of belonging\, memory\, and political consciousness\, bringing a nuanced perspective to conversations around diaspora and cross-cultural experience. \n  \n \nCatherine Wright has a Ph.D in the philosophy of mind. She taught philosophy in both the USA and in Scotland. In the 1990’s she found Conscious Dance as a spiritual practice and path. Since then\, she has qualified as a teacher and facilitator in Movement Medicine. She says\, “The wisdom we can access through our bodies has woven itself into everything I do. In all of my work and study\, my intention is to more fully understand myself and our shared humanity.” She enjoys working as a coach\, mentor and supervisor of dancers\, dance teachers\, and OneSpirit ministers. She also works in conflict resolution. If you wish to learn more look at Catherine’s Dancer’s story here.

SUMMARY:Praying in Flesh and Bone
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Praying in Flesh and Bone aims to widen our understanding and practice of prayer through paying attention to the physical body. \nDuring this week\, we will learn how the body accompanies us in prayer through preparation (breath work)\, setting intentions (for reflection)\, focus (centering images and gestures)\, expression (movement)\, and anticipation (gestures of invitation). \nWe will explore how attention to the body enhances our ability to pray within our faith tradition with openness to all others. In conversation and exploration\, we will attend to how the body can support prayers that invite us to: hold\, heal\, and hope. \nThe human body\, individually and in community\, will become a rich medium for connecting to God\, our inner self\, others\, and creation. \nSome mobility (e.g. ability to transition between standing and sitting) is required\, but we will offer accommodations for ranges of ability. \n  \nProgramme Leader \nMiriam Y. Perkins\, Ph.D.\, is Professor of Theology at Emmanuel Christian Seminary teaching graduate courses in residence and online. She is an ordained minister\, yoga instructor (YRT 200 & stretch coach)\, and lover of all things outdoors. She and her spouse grow and share a large neighborhood garden from their home in the United States. \n  \n  \n  \nCosts \n6 Nights: £960 per adult\, £480 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%2Fbooking-directly.com%2Fwidgets%2FZ8ayvaEvw2SsrbCpGHLzeQZxQGqxQJy163aSHXVJnHbgCb53vffml4WKihlt5%2Fproperties%2Funit-selection%3Fsearch_stay_dates%3D%257B%2522checkInDate%2522%253A%25222027-05-08%2522%252C%2522checkOutDate%2522%253A%25222027-05-14%2522%257D%26search_occupancies%3D%255B%257B%2522numberOfAdults%2522%253A2%252C%2522children%2522%253A%255B%255D%257D%255D|target:_blank|rel:nofollow” 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-2027%2F|target:_blank” el_class=”tealoutlinebtn generalbtn rightbtn”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Young Adults Week
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]As young adults\, we find ourselves the inheritors of powerful and complex histories. However\, the conflicting stories often feel more overwhelming than useful. It can feel like we’ve come of age in an era that fails to provide positive visions of the future\, making us feel powerless in the present. At best\, this outlook is uninspiring. At worst\, it’s paralysing. But there is an alternative. \nIn this rich and eclectic week\, we will explore the radical power of imagination to provide both hope in the present and embodied change in the future. There will be opportunities to learn about ongoing positive projects\, and to share in meaningful conversation. Guests will also be invited to engage creatively through a series of workshops. \nAll are welcome: we want to create space for everyone to bring their different knowledge and skills\, so no particular experience is necessary. If you’re someone between the ages of 18 and 35 who likes the idea of meeting new people\, talking about big ideas and spending time in a remarkable setting\, we’d love for you to join us at Iona Abbey – itself rebuilt from ruins\, standing for hope. \n  \nProgramme Leaders \nGrace Pengelly is a writer\, editor and facilitator from Somerset\, UK. Previously a Commissioning Editor for HarperCollins\, she now works as an independent editor for authors and publishing houses. Fascinated by the intersections of culture\, politics\, art and faith\, she publishes essays on her newsletter\, The Murmuration. She regularly appears on podcasts\, in print and at festivals as a speaker. Grace has two small children and lives in Somerset. \n  \n  \nIndigo Maynard Watts is a writer and artist from Gloucestershire\, with a particular interest in the political and spiritual nuances of British counterculture. She has led workshops across a range of festivals including Greenbelt\, and is a member of the Iona Community’s Young Adults Group. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCosts \n6 Nights: £960 per adult\, £480 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%2Fbooking-directly.com%2Fwidgets%2FZ8ayvaEvw2SsrbCpGHLzeQZxQGqxQJy163aSHXVJnHbgCb53vffml4WKihlt5%2Fproperties%2Funit-selection%3Fsearch_stay_dates%3D%257B%2522checkInDate%2522%253A%25222027-08-14%2522%252C%2522checkOutDate%2522%253A%25222027-08-20%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:Refuge and the Resistance of Joy
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]In a world beset by violence\, it is easy to despair. The structures of violence historically have produced phobia and fear and been turned into systems of hate and exclusion. \nJoin us this week to look at the resources and creative practices communities can adopt which declare a different reality to one built on fear and instead declare that peace is with us. \nLeading through stories of sanctuary\, poetry\, arts and drama and their own resources of survival\, the team hopes to enable you to leave Iona having found peace\, and a sanctuary. We hope you will continue your journey empowered to work joyfully for justice and with tenacity\, humour and practical care. \n  \nProgramme Leader \n \nAlison Phipps is UNESCO Chair for Refugee Integration through Education\, Languages and Arts at the University of Glasgow where she is Professor of Languages and Intercultural Studies and a Member of the Iona Community for 25 years. \n  \n  \n  \n \nDr Tawona Sitholé is Lecturer in Creative Practice Education within the UNESCO Chair in Refugee Integration through Education\, Languages and the Arts. In research and teaching he is part of CLIP (Culture\, Literacies\, Inclusion and Pedagogy). \n  \n  \n‘Better known as Ganyamatope (my ancestral family name) my heritage inspires me to make connections with other people through creativity\, and the natural outlook to learn. Educated by assigned teachers through the schooling system\, and by natural teachers through ‘pasichigare’ (my ancestors lifestyle)\, I benefit from having more than one way of knowing/learning. As a result\, I find myself playing many roles in creativity and education. I am a poet\, playwright\, storyteller and musician.’ \n  \n \nDr Hyab Yohannes is a Lecturer in Forced Migration and Decolonial Education with the UNESCO Chair RIELA at the University of Glasgow. Hyab’s research interests include poetics\, decoloniality\, and political theories across physical\, onto-epistemic\, spatio-temporal\, and juridico-political dimensions. He advises UN bodies on human trafficking and slavery and is a survivor of torture and trafficking himself and medal recipient for his public engagement work with refugees from the Royal Society of Edinburgh. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCosts \n6 Nights: £960 per adult\, £480 concession. \n\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%25222027-08-28%2522%252C%2522checkOutDate%2522%253A%25222027-09-03%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:Followers of The Way
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]We do not draw close to The Mystery that is called “God” through systematic theology\, well-defined dogmas\, or doctrinal statements; we do so by paying attention to the reality around us. \nGod is everywhere but until we learn to see God somewhere we will not notice God anywhere. The beauty of Iona\, the generosity and kindness of those who live and work here\, and a curiosity and openness to give and receive from fellow travellers will help us to pause and wait for the work of God to transform rather than inform us. \nIf you are looking for ways to find space for contemplation and stillness\, but have no idea where to start\, this week is for you. We will be learning from mystics old and modern and play with different ways of entering stillness and quiet. Walking a labyrinth\, journalling\, using art and poetry\, body movement and music – you will have the chance to try all of these. \nHildegard of Bingen said\, “A human being is a vessel that God has built for Godself and filled with inspiration so that God’s works are perfected in it.” Our hope is that as we bring our whole selves\, body\, mind and spirit\, to practices ancient and new we will find ourselves belonging\, flourishing\, becoming more contemplative\, more fully human\, more able to live as followers of Jesus\, The Way. \n  \nProgramme Leaders \nAli and Ralph are both experienced spiritual accompaniers. They met whilst working on Iona some years ago and find that the vagaries of ordinary life are teaching them to find God in what past mystics have sometimes called the dazzling darkness. They have more questions than answers and are excited to journey with you. \n\nAli Marshall is a Member of the Iona Community with life full of family and friends and Finn\, a border terrier. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nRalph is an Associate Member of the Iona Community\, a seeker\, a lover of God\, people\, and nature. He enjoys hiking in the Rocky Mountains\, spending time with family\, and companioning others on The Way. \n  \nCosts \n6 Nights: £960 per adult\, £480 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%2Fbooking-directly.com%2Fwidgets%2FZ8ayvaEvw2SsrbCpGHLzeQZxQGqxQJy163aSHXVJnHbgCb53vffml4WKihlt5%2Fproperties%2Funit-selection%3Fsearch_stay_dates%3D%257B%2522checkInDate%2522%253A%25222027-09-11%2522%252C%2522checkOutDate%2522%253A%25222027-09-17%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:Queer Joy: Identity\, Faith and Ritual
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]For queer Christians\, faith and spirituality are central components of our identity. There is also a growing number of queer folk who are interested in exploring spirituality but don’t quite know where to start. \nQueer Joy offers an opportunity to share stories\, experiences and reflections of LGBTQ+ and queer lived experience while also exploring a deeper experience of faith and the Divine\, leaving with a positive understanding of queer joy. \nThroughout the week\, there will be workshops which include individual\, group and creative experiences. These will enable personal reflection and consideration of our relationship with God and one another. \nYou will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of creative activities such as crafting\, journaling\, poetry/prayer writing\, Lego and queer mandalas. \nYou will also be able to create an individual plan of activities that you can take home with you and use on your own or in your communities. \nThis programme is open to all\, whether you identify on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum or beyond\, whether you’re queer or questioning\, whether you are new to exploring faith or have done so for decades. Allies and friends to the community are very welcome! \nPlease note that we will adopt an anti-oppressive and inclusive approach throughout the programme. \n  \nProgramme Leaders \n \nMaxwell Reay is a gender queer trans man. He has been clergy in Metropolitan Community Church since 1993. He volunteered with MCC Bath\, MCC North London and MCC Edinburgh. He served as an Elder in MCC from 2021 to 2024. He was a Healthcare Chaplain in the NHS for 18 years. These days\, he leads “Our Tribe”\, the LGBTQI+ ministry at Augustine United Church\, Edinburgh. This is a joint ministry with The United Reformed Church and MCC. \nLewis Reay is a queer trans man who lives with his husband of 30 plus years. He is a liturgist and has been published in the United Reformed Prayer Handbook for several years. He writes prayers for use in worship services as well as for a variety of personal and community activities. He is a member of Metropolitan Community Church and Augustine United Church\, Edinburgh. \n  \nCosts \n6 Nights: £960 per adult\, £480 concession. \n\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%25222027-09-18%2522%252C%2522checkOutDate%2522%253A%25222027-09-24%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]
