SUMMARY:Writing the Island (fully booked)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Join Kenneth Steven for a week of writing and walking and discovering the Celtic Christian stories and places of Iona. \nIn this dynamic and reflective week\, we will explore the Celtic Christian story written into the island. You will have the chance to seek out the secret places of Iona that so many visitors never encounter. We will then use our imagination to write the stories of those places in the comfort of Iona Abbey. \nIf you are someone who enjoys walking and spending time in nature\, but also love curling up with a good book and a steaming mug of tea\, then Writing the Island is for you. You do not need to be an experienced walker to participate. \nAccommodation for this week will be offered as single occupancy rooms at no additional charge. If you are booking with a friend or partner and would prefer to share a room that’s also possible – just let us know when booking. \n  \nProgramme leader\nKenneth Steven is the prolific author of some 50 books of poetry\, essays and fiction. He has written and presented many features and essays for BBC Radio. Visit Kenneth’s Website and listen to his monthly podcast here.  \n  \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%3D2026-03-21%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]
