SUMMARY:Columba Week (FULLY BOOKED)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Columba Week 7th – 13th June 2025 (FULLY BOOKED) \nFlawed\, ambitious and uniquely charismatic\, Saint Columba emerged from the sorrow of exile to become the foremost figure of his time\, spreading the gospel and establishing a thriving religious and creative community which one writer called “a beacon of enlightenment Christianity”. \nColumba’s legend is curiously modern. It challenges us to speak truth to power\, create genuine openness in our societies\, and do the hard work of peace-making in dark times.  Join us for a week of celebration\, investigation\, art\, creative writing\, and music.   \n Join us for a week of celebration\, storytelling\, song and playful contemplative practice.   \nProgramme leader \n \nRev. Simon Ruth de Voil is an interspiritual minister and musician. His musical and spiritual work explores themes of the inner landscape of the soul\, the enchantment of the natural world\, and the healing power of spiritual practice. As a chaplain and counsellor\, Simon helps individuals and groups connect sacred presence with everyday life.  You can view Simon’s website here.  \n  \n  \nWorkshop leader \n \nReverend Catherine Lomas was a parish priest in the Church of England until 2023. Now based in Wiltshire\, she is exploring a calling as full-time iconographer and sacred artist. She uses visual means to explore theology  and spirituality\, seeing our search for the Divine as sharing much in common with  humanity’s innate longing for beauty. She painted her first icon in 2016\, and now pursues her ministry through leading and speaking  about icons\, art and spirituality. More details at Catherine Mary Icons \n\n  \nCosts \n\n6 Nights: £846.00 per adult\, £423.00 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%3D2025-06-07%26stayLength%3D6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Environment Week (FULLY BOOKED - waiting list open)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Environment Week 21st – 27th June 2025 (FULLY BOOKED) \n(WAITING LIST: please contact ionaabbeybookings@iona.org.uk to add your name.) \nWhat inspires and sustains us in this time of anxiety about the climate? Our passion for peace and justice embraces both the people we share the planet with and the Earth itself.   \nThe narrative around climate change is often one of despair. But this overlooks a series of recent advances in technological innovation\, policy development\, widespread protest and landmark legal victories. All this has echoes of the words of Arundhati Roy “Another world is not only possible\, she is on her way. On a quiet day\, I can hear her breathing”.   \nDuring this environment week we will discover tools to raise our spirits\, and change our climate anxiety into climate action.  \nIf you want to deepen your connection with the Divine amidst the white sands\, turquoise blue waters and wild flowers of Iona in midsummer\, this is the week for you.  \nProgramme leaders:  \nLed by Iona Community Programme Team. \nCosts \n6 Nights: £846.00 per adult\, £423.00 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%3D2025-06-21%26stayLength%3D6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
