For centuries, pilgrims have visited Iona in search of the sacred, inspired by the example of St Columba. Many modern-day travellers are also drawn to the island through work and witness of the Iona Community, an ecumenical Christian community working for peace and social justice.

A collection of photographs depicting in detail the carvings of the restored cloisters of Iona Abbey, with text reflecting on the meaning of each design and information about the flora and fauna of the Isle of Iona and beyond which most of the carvings represent. This use of symbols from the natural world reflects the close links of the early Celtic Christians with the land around them. As a frequent visitor to Iona since childhood, Ewan Mathers observed the newly rebuilt cloisters being transformed over thirty years from rough pillars of fragile sandstone into a complete, cyclical, unified work of art. As an adult he began to look more closely at the carvings and from conversations with Chris Hall, the principal carver, to learn something of what they represent. From these reflections emerges the concept of cloisters as a labyrinth. In ancient mythology these winding circular pathways were used as celebrations of life and death as well as places of meditation. The purpose was not to reach any physical point but rather to effect a change in the walker's awareness. Cloisters too can bring about changes in consciousness if we allow them the time and are aware of the possibilities. They provide a safe environment in which to explore the deeper aspects of our existence.

A journey of healing takes Clare Cooper Marcus on a 6-month long solitary retreat to the remote Scottish Island of Iona. Here she experiences a mirroring of her soul and reflects and reviews the life that brought her here to this magical place. Her compelling memoir Iona Dreaming is an inspirational account of personal survival and hope in which Clare shares her recovery from a life-threatening illness, which deepens into a contemplation of the events in her life and her physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Clare Cooper Marcus brings both a personal and academic life-long interface with place, environment, and people. Her five previous books about human response to architecture and environment were popular with the public and well-received by the press. Iona Dreaming will reach out to a broad audience: people entering retirement, dealing with serious illnesses, gardeners, lovers of nature, architects and landscape architects, people who are becoming more heath conscious, women who have shared the social and cultural shifts she lived through—especially those coming of age in the 60’s—and all those who seek a more authentic life.
