Information:
Columcille 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.
The building took its name from Colum Cille, the 6th century Irish monk who founded a monastic community on Iona.
Today, Columcille includes the trilithon Thor’s Gate, the Glen of the Temple, and numerous megaliths strategically placed on the land. The Park is constantly evolving. New megaliths added in autumn, 1997 bring the total to over eighty standing stones, and work continues on the system of woodland trails and meditation sites set aside for men and women.
