Celebrate the midpoint between winter and summer with special guest David Spangler
We would love you to join us, as we further journey into the Spirit of Iona though the Celtic Festivals of the year.
Welcome to our seasonal journey into the wellsprings of ‘Wisdom from the Celtic World’, our Equinox theme “Homecoming to the Soul of the World. ”
Our host Katherine Collis is joined at this special time by David Spangler, a Findhorn Fellow and one time co-director of the Findhorn Community, who was instrumental in initiating spiritual education into the Foundation. Co-founder of the Lorian Association, David is an author, teacher, spiritual researcher and wise counsellor to many groups and centres.
In this 8th Session, Katherine and David will explore the mysterious draw that the Isle of Iona has in attracting people from all over the world. As some of the elder residents of the island have said, “ Iona seems to travel” or “Iona calls”. And so it has done in centuries past and again in this last 100 years, drawing millions to her shores.
As we approach this upcoming Vernal Equinox – there is no better time than to explore the relationship between the Isle of Iona and this planetary ‘call’, one which is stirring within the hearts and minds of many from around the globe. Indeed, it has never been more urgent and compelling.
To help us take this next step of our journey, David will help us unwrap this mystery – another gift from the Spirit of Iona.
This session, which can be enjoyed on its own, is part of the Spirit of Iona: Wisdom of the Celtic World for our Time series. We will learn about and attune to the sacred Isle of Iona – her geography, historic writings, poetry, art, music, myths and legends, as well as the traditions of creating blessings and prayers.
