A Visit to Columcille

Columcille, Inc. is a nonprofit organization established in 1978 to promote transformation through inner and outer work. It has its origins in Casa Colum (Gaelic for Home of the Dove), a small house opened in 1975 by William Cohea Jr. as a 'salon by the side of the road' where 'tired sinners and reluctant saints' could drop by and share their experiences and ideas. Cohea had been inspired during a visit to the Isle of Iona to create an open space which welcomed people of all faiths and traditions interested in renewal and transformation.

This page has thumbnails of the photos I took on my visit with the School of Sacred Ministries in May, 2005.  This page also features a link to the Columcille website, as well as a few articles and other photos of the megaliths.
