22nd - 28th May: Exploring Sustainable Living Camas Wind Turbine Silhouette

Join us for a week experiencing and discussing life on the other side of the oil revolution.
Using the renovated Camas as our case study this is a week to explore how we can live a satisfying and enjoyable low carbon life. It flows from the Iona Community’s commitment to the Christian Aid ‘Cut the Carbon Campaign’ and will be of interest to people in Eco-congregations and those curious about what life might be like without oil. Start by travelling to Camas by public transport and sharing with others any difficulties you have had in getting here!


Led by Raymond Young, a Regeneration Consultant and Member of the Iona Community.  For the information Sheet click here

(Please Note, Ross and Raymond are using the Cambridge Carbon Footprint Model, and with this comes a Pack which costs an Additional £15)

11th - 17th September: Exploring Creation

The Celts spoke of two books in which it was possible to discover or ‘read’ God: the little book was the Bible, and the big book was Creation.
This reflective and recreational programme offers the chance to join with others in exploring creation in the beautiful setting of Camas. The days are designed to allow a mix of structured activity and discussion sessions with individual exploration / reflection time.
