Product Description
A journey of healing takes Clare Cooper Marcus on a 6-month long solitary retreat to the remote Scottish Island of Iona. Here she experiences a mirroring of her soul and reflects and reviews the life that brought her here to this magical place. Her compelling memoir Iona Dreaming is an inspirational account of personal survival and hope in which Clare shares her recovery from a life-threatening illness, which deepens into a contemplation of the events in her life and her physical, emotional and spiritual healing.

Clare Cooper Marcus brings both a personal and academic life-long interface with place, environment and people. Her five previous books about human response to architecture and environment were popular with the public and well-received by the press. Iona Dreaming will reach out to a broad audience: people entering retirement, dealing with serious illnesses, gardeners, lovers of nature, architects and landscape architects, people who are becoming more heath conscious, women who have shared the social and cultural shifts she lived through--especially those coming of age in the 60's--and all those who seek a more authentic life.

5 out of 5 stars Landscape and dreamscape   August 13, 2010

"Iona Dreaming" captured me like books rarely do. In reading about the author's Iona experiences and their relationship to her dreams and memories I became in touch with my own and found my way toward healing. Ways to heal through examining my dreams, both waking and sleeping; ways to remember the past as blessings of my present and my future. "Iona Dreaming" became a personal journey for myself lived through the narrative of the author's sojourn on the island of Iona. Everyone seeking personal peace and healing should read this book.


5 out of 5 stars Amazing, wonderful on so many levels   August 5, 2010

I wasn't prepared for being riveted to this book all the way through. The story itself is fascinating and Claire's detail in describing her surroundings and experience was so fascinating and real. I almost felt like I ws there with her. The book addresses so many levels that I found myself totally engaged. The thoughts and questions age raises have forced me to look to myself and has stayed with me in a very powerful way.


5 out of 5 stars A solid addition to any spirituality or memoir collection   June 13, 2010

A long score of history and a natural beauty can truly make a place a spiritual experience. "Iona Dreaming: The Healing Power of Place" is a collection of reflections from Clare Cooper Marcus as she speaks of her time she spent on the Scottish Island of Iona and what it aught her about her life and how it can help others bring new insight into theirs as well. "Iona Dreaming" is a thoughtful and spiritual read, a solid addition to any spirituality or memoir collection.



5 out of 5 stars A wonderful and inspiring story of the healing power of one's surroundings   June 5, 2010

Clare Cooper Marcus' sensitive and poetic description of Iona, a place I now would love to visit, is a great read. Her story of her healing journey and the impact of finding a place which enabled this healing is a very novel approach to dealing with the trauma of life-threatening illness and its psychological sequellae. I think anyone dealing with these issues could benefit from reading this book. One may not be able to travel to a faraway island to recover but it provides ideas about how to find a healing place for oneself. Highly recommended.


5 out of 5 stars Loved this book!   June 1, 2010

I absolutely loved this book! Clare Cooper Marcus' depiction of her healing from cancer, her reflections on her life, and her deep appreciation of nature are so beautifully expressed in evocative poetic language. Her descriptions of Iona, the peaceful Scottish island she loves, inspired me to look more closely at my own surroundings and to consider the places that are restorative, calming, and joyful to me.
