2019 Autumn Encounters with The Iona Community
October 18, 2019 - October 23, 2019
Although our own residential centres remain closed for refurbishment, the Iona Community is delighted to announce that it will be running an Autumn residential programme based at the St Columba Hotel on Iona. Against the vermilion and purple sunrises and softer pace of the island in Autumn, these retreats offer the chance to pause and take stock of life – to gather in what is ripe, to clear the ground and prepare for what lies ahead.
We are absolutely delighted to have 3 exceptional people leading this year’s programmes: poet and award-winning translator of Rilke and Meister Eckhart, Mark Burrows; long-time Wild Goose Resource Member, Jo Love; and art historian and popular speaker Debbie Lewer – who also led our wonderful Easter 2018 retreat.
18th – 23rd October:
Ripening in Wisdom: Elder Poets as Sages of the Harvest of Life
Mark Burrows, Protestant University of Applied Sciences, Bochum

Based at the lovely St. Columba Hotel, each programme is 5 nights; prices start at £735 per person and include continental breakfast, lunch, dinner, accommodation and programme charges. Places can be reserved via the St Columba website or by phoning the hotel on 44 (0)1681 700 304
