Holistic Education Centre Unifying Mind, Body and Spirit

Since 1973 we have offered educational courses, workshops and therapies for spiritual, emotional and physical well-being. The inter-connectedness of body, mind and spirit, as symbolised in the Celtic Trine, is the foundation of our work and we believe that healings and growth arise naturally from this recognition.

Just a heads up: while the Centre itself remains fully open and welcoming as usual, our office’s opening times will be reduced this summer to Fridays only, 11:00 am to 3:00 pm due to team transitions.

Behind the scenes, we’re working on some exciting changes! Stay tuned for updates as we grow! 🌱

Setting up for the new exhibition opening tomorrow... Come to the Opening Night, 1st July at 6pm! ✨

The full title of the exhibition is Diasporic Longing and Rhizomatic Belonging: Art, Objects, Memory, and the Q***r Diasporic Experience. Marlene Ayumi Ito, the creator behind it, translates their recent ethnographic research into a visual response, showcasing participants’ art, alongside their own visual response – including collage, installation, film, and object curation.

The opening night tomorrow will include an interactive artwork where visitors are encouraged to add to it – producing a larger community-based piece. While everyone is welcome, it is crucially an ode and love letter to the q***r immigrant and refugee communities in Scotland who have made me feel at home. 🏡

Come! More details here: https://tinyurl.com/3mha4duh

Melissa Febos in the morning, my soul is happy. Entering the final pages of The Dry Season and resonating hard. A deep dive into abandoning the self in relationship and how abstinence can be “a form of self-love, or redefinition.” As I read, I feel myself drawing closer to my writing subjects, my soul’s work, and feel very grateful for this memoir’s reach. Tomorrow is week 6 of the Write Your Self course and we’re looking at how we can begin to find the stories we want to tell. One of the ways we do this is by looking to a piece of writing we are particularly drawn to, that speaks to and moves us. Melissa Febos definitely hits this note for me. The next run of Write Yourself starts September 4th in person and September 8th online. Booking link at www.sustenancecounselling.com/therapeutic-writing-courses and more here soon!
