Stillness in Community

Stillness in Community: 24th – 28th November 2025

Do you need some time to think and not think? Do you wonder how you might practice stillness before God? 

Join Quaker, and Iona Community Leader Ruth Harvey, for some days of gentle, stilling contemplative practices in the beauty of an Iona winter.

Our Stillness Weeks do not include programmed sessions. 

But you‘ll have the opportunity to: 

  • enjoy the wild and rugged scenery 
  • enjoy creative art opportunities 
  • take part in daily worship 
  • work with other guests on shared tasks 
  • share tasty meals from the Iona Abbey Kitchen 

 This is not a completely silent week, but a time for stillness and reflection. 

Programme facilitator

Ruth Harvey, Quaker and Leader of the Iona Community.
