Connection and Contemplation on Iona
Our days together will follow a rhythm that weaves in silence and song, prayer and meditation, contemplation and reflective conversation, time in nature and time for stillness. You'll encounter the history of the land and people of Iona through story and exploration of the island, and you'll be invited to experience a range of spiritual and contemplative practices as you sink into the presence of this very special place.

Such a wonderful experience in all ways! Lindsey and Simon are truly gifted leaders, and even with the challenges we faced, I felt very supported and cared for, and had an amazing week. They opened Iona to me in unique and powerful ways. I hope to return!

Everything was well organized, yet the schedule was flexible with options for participating. The facility was great as was the food.

The week on Iona was magical — good company, good food, good accommodations. Linden, Simon, David and Jurian did a great job of facilitating. Now the real challenge will be to keep the peace of Iona with me as I return home.
