Future Opportunities
Pilgrimage to Iona, Scotland –
Dear Pilgrim,
I am excited about our Pilgrimage to Iona, Scotland and London, England, September 15 – 24, 2020.
We will begin this adventure in a 3 day stay in London including a guided tour of the Capital, a visit to the historic pilgrimage site of Canterbury Cathedral, and a unique opportunity to visit some “thin places” in the midst of the bustle of this modern city. We will spend a night in Glasgow, Scotland, on the way to our 5 days immersing ourselves in the life of Iona, a small pilgrimage located off the west coast of Scotland.
This is a unique opportunity to join an intentional traveling community exploring the presence of the holy in these historic sites. I encourage a prompt response as space is limited by accommodations on the Isle of Iona at the Hotel Columba. Additionally there is a savings for “early bird” registration.
I hope you can join us. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact me at Lloyd@fistpresnb.org
