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 Leader \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  \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]
