She is a member of the lona Community. \nJan Sutch Pickard: ‘I am a poet and storyteller now living on the Isle of Mull. I began working for the Community on Iona in the last millennium. My storytelling draws on local history and legend from the West of Scotland\, and also the West Bank Palestinian territories where\, leaving Iona\, I became an Ecumenical Accompanier. These places and experiences have also inspired my poetry (Wild Goose books: Out of Iona\, Between High and Low Water\, A Pocket Full of Crumbs). I would like to hear your stories!’ \nHelen Lambie is a breadmaker\, retired cook\, and former member of the Resident Group on Iona. \nNeil Paynter is Helen’s partner\, an editor with Wild Goose Publications\, a late-night piano player\, and a former Resident Group member and volunteer. He has worked for the Iona Community for about a quarter of a century. He likes cats a lot. \nCosts\n\n6 Nights: £762 per adult\, £381 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%3D2024-09-28%26stayLength%3D6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
