The small island of Iona, off the Isle of Mull, is where St Columba founded his abbey, and it became a cradle of Celtic Christian spirituality. Pilgrims still cross the sound to walk its shores and share worship at the restored abbey.
People are already searching for circles, ceremonies and retreats in Iona. Nothing is listed here yet — which means the door is wide open. List your gathering free; the platform takes 9% only on paid places, and nothing at all on free ones.
Leave your interest and we’ll send you a note the moment a facilitator holds a circle, class or retreat here.
Columba arrived from Ireland in 563 and founded a monastery that sent missionaries across Scotland and northern England. The abbey was restored in the twentieth century, and the ecumenical Iona Community, founded in 1938, still lives and leads worship here.
A ‘thin place’ in the Celtic imagination, where many visitors feel the boundary between the everyday and the sacred grow faint — a centre of contemplative retreat for people of many backgrounds.
The practices here will show as facilitators list them.
Many facilitators offer a sliding scale — pay what you can, no questions asked, and no one sees what you chose.
Iona has room for you. Post as many gatherings as you like — 9% of paid places, nothing on free ones, no monthly fee.
