💛 June Community Offering 💛

Join Lynsey (xhail with Lyns) for a relaxing yet grounding evening to mark the Summer Solstice, the peak of light and abundance.
Through guided meditation, gentle reflection, and journaling, you'll be supported to ease and settle your nervous system, quieten the noise of the outside world, and reconnect with your inner soul self. As we harness the life giving energy of the Summer Solstice, we'll create space to reflect on the first half of the year and gain clarity on what you want to carry forward, connected to your intentions for the months ahead.

This is a donation-based session ~ pay what you can or sign up for free!
You can book your space via this link

Our monthly adult donation based classes/workshops in 2026 have been made possible by the award of grant funding from Aberdeenshire Communities Mental Health & Wellbeing Fund Round 5 in collaboration with Aberdeenshire Voluntary Action.

As a social enterprise organisation (specifically we’re a Community Interest Company which means all of our profits are invested back into the local community and our assets are held within an “asset lock”), we’re delighted to continue offering free (fully funded) spaces at our special seasonal wellbeing events, including yoga, meditation and sound bath experiences. ✨

For our upcoming outdoor Summer Solstice event at Potarch on the morning of Sunday 21 June, we currently have 2 funded spaces available. You can apply for yourself or nominate someone else (you may know a friend/family member/work colleague who could benefit right now or you may be a health professional and know of a patient or client who could benefit). We would LOVE to gift these spaces to anyone who could benefit from a little time out, rest, and care 💛
