    Discover how children aged 0–5 can encounter God through
    play, ritual, and the gentle rhythms of early faith formation.

    Grounded in the belief that young children are naturally open to spiritual experience, this event explores how environment, routine, and simple practices can nurture faith from the very beginning.

    You will explore

    ✨ Creating meaningful, welcoming spaces for under 5s and their parents/carers
    ✨ Practical ideas rooted in play, movement, story, and sensory engagement
    ✨ How faith practices can be introduced in weekly settings
    ✨ How experiences can be taken home and lived day by day

    Expect hands‑on ideas, thoughtful theology, and creative inspiration.

    Led by experienced practitioners & writers

    Holy Isle, off Arran

    Hosted by Interfaith Scotland, this retreat is open to people of all faiths and none who are interested in finding out about the lived experience of people of different faiths, philosophies and spiritual practices.

    This will take place through sharing the things that inspire us on our life journey, and conversations on what we share in common across different faiths such as prayer, meditation, wisdom and compassion. Come to share or come to listen – everyone is welcome!

    There will be opportunities to try out some creative activities and a reflective walk to the cave of St Molaise and the Tibetan Buddhist deities carved into the rocks.

    Our programme will include an hour after breakfast each day working with the resident volunteer community, helping with kitchen, house care and garden tasks. Participants are welcome to join in the Centre’s daily meditation schedule. There will also be time for personal reflection and enjoyment of this beautiful island.
