Healing
Liturgical and practical resources from Iona Community members, friends and others designed to create more awareness and understanding about mental health.

Advent & Christmas
An Advent Calendar with a difference – in the form of a book. Instead of cardboard cut-outs the ‘windows’ we open are word-pictures and stories from the Land called Holy. Readers can respond with prayer.
Healing
A practical leader’s guide to delivering art and wellbeing sessions to the community. 'This is a daring book. It dares us to help people engage with the deep spirituality that comes from getting your hands dirty. Art is not just an ‘add on’ to life. It is essential to helping us articulate where we came from, who we are and who we hope to be.'
Meditations & Reflections
Poems and prayers from morning to night, the title poem inspired by an insight of Julian of Norwich. From the first cup of tea in the morning as the recycling lorry trundles down the street to those final random thoughts before we drop off at night. As the children grow up and someone we love dies; as we rage against life and love brings us home.
