SPIRITUALITY
At Kilchoan we have the privilege of being surrounded by the beauty of God’s creation… walking in the hills, ambling along the foreshore, resting in the gardens, there is space to be still…
THE VISION
The vision of the owner, who has strong family links to Scotland and purchased the Kilchoan Estate in 2015, is to create a cultural project in spirituality for the community of Argyll and beyond, for generations to come.
The spiritual inspiration for the Kilchoan initiative comes from the Iona Christian community which is an international, ecumenical Christian movement working for justice and peace, the rebuilding of community and the renewal of worship.
As with Iona, at Kilchoan we desire to be an open and welcoming place for all those that seek a connection with both the natural and the spiritual world.
The name Kilchoan is derived from ‘Cille Comhain’ or ‘cell of St Comghan’, ‘cell’ referring to a chapel or church. St Comghan was a Celtic monk who, following the example of St Columba of Iona, established a Christian community on the west coast of Scotland in the 8th century.
Our first project was to build the St Comghans chapel, to honour those that have come before us, to seek guidance from the Almighty for our endeavours and as a peaceful place.
THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH GOD
The Bible teaches that God speaks to people. He communicates His love, His will in different ways … He speaks through scripture, He speaks through His creation, as it reflects something of Himself and His glory, He speaks by His Spirit, leading and guiding those who hear Him.
But often it is the “hearing” that is the challenge, when there is so much vying for our attention, being still and listening can be a hard task…
At Kilchoan we have the privilege of being surrounded by the beauty of God’s creation… walking in the hills, ambling along the foreshore, resting in the gardens, there is space to be still…
We are also in a place where many before us have sought to connect with God, spiritual seekers that have gone looking for peace and solitude, to clear a space in their lives that God can fill…
Here at Kilchoan, it may be that little bit easier to switch off some of the voices that can often fill our day…At Kilchoan, in the stillness that can often be found here, there is an opportunity to connect with God, to see Him speak through the beauty of His creation surrounding us… To hear His voice in the sounds of the Chapel… In the chance to sit quietly with His Word…
