Reclaiming the Sacred
The mystical Isle of Iona in Scotland is steeped in Celtic tradition, a tradition that many of us at the Haden Institute have been dreaming of and working towards reclaiming. It is a tradition rich in poetry, song, story, and ritual, a tradition that values the Divine Feminine and acknowledges the sacredness in all of creation.
Join us for this pilgrimage to visit this thin place that reminds us of what lives deep within us – a longing for authentic connection to the Holy that is found in our inner selves, in each other, and on this sacred earth.
Reflection, Connection, Ritual
Our days will be spent carving out space for inner work, sharing our journeys with one another in circle, communing with nature, visiting sacred sites on the island, engaging in creative and embodiment practices, experiencing ritual in community, enjoying music, poetry, and story, and opening to the mysteries of the numinous.
