Equinox Retreat - on Iona

Equinox Retreat on Iona is an opportunity to deeply experience this time of year as we turn towards the light, within the peace of this beautiful island.

Situated on the west coast of Scotland, Iona is a sacred island known as a historic place of pilgrimage.

The retreat takes place at Traigh Bhan, the Findhorn Foundation's retreat house on Iona. Traigh Bhan offers the opportunity for quiet contemplation, while the island itself - with its views and spectacular coastal scenery - is ideal for long walks of exploration and contact with nature's beauty.
