A seasonal celebration of faith, culture politics and creativity
weeWONDERBOX’s flagship urban festival, ColumbaFest, returns to Glasgow city centre on June 8th-10th, 2018. Our theme: ’Dreams & Visions’ … on what makes ‘prophecy’ today.
Expect live music and spoken word, workshops, walks, talks and worship led by a fantastically diverse group of contributors, including Pádraig Ó Tuama, Ian Bradley, Alyson Hallet and John L. Bell. More to be confirmed soon.
Prophets often come from the margins, challenging our complacent worldview with a startling new perspective. We will be asking – where are the prophets today? What are they saying? And are we listening to them?
We will draw inspiration from the life of St Columba, the biblical prophets, and contemporary politics to challenge ourselves to engage with the most pressing issues of social justice in our society.
Come for a day, an evening, or for the entire weekend … Early Bird ticket offers (until 8th May) below.
Keep an eye on this blog, the Wild Goose Resource Group website, sign-up for the eNews and the weeWONDERBOX Facebook and Twitter for more info as it is released.

“I know of no resource that unites faith, art and poetic language with more integrity than Imaging The Word. I hope that people nourished by its beauty will find similar beauty at the centre of their work and that communities inspired by its vision will find similar creativity at the centre of their lives together” – MARIA HARRIS, author of Jubilee Time And Religious Imagination.
