Begin the new year with clarity and focus at our Make Your Own Meditation Mala Workshop, led by artist and facilitator Eugenia Rosa Eugenia Rosa on Friday 10th January from 6:30 - 8:30 PM at the Art & Spirituality Centre in Edinburgh. Drawing from her experience in art and spiritual traditions, Eugenia will guide you in crafting a personal mala, a beaded necklace used in meditation to count intentions or mantras. Each mala you make can reflect your intentions for the year ahead, serving as a daily reminder of your inner peace and aspirations. Why create a mala? Mala beads have been used for centuries to centre and focus the mind. Making your own adds personal significance, grounding your meditation practice in your unique journey and goals. What to Expect: Personalised Meditation Tool: Choose from a selection of natural beads, crystals, and charms that reflect your personal intentions. Mindful & Reflective: A calm and welcoming space to set intentions and find clarity alongside a supportive community. Symbolic Additions: Bring any meaningful charms or beads to add a personal touch to your mala, making it uniquely yours. Spaces are limited, so book now to begin 2025 with mindfulness and intention at the Art & Spirituality Centre.

What Connects You to Edinburgh? Join us for a reflective and creative workshop in celebration of Edinburgh 900, inspired by the mission of Art and Spirituality CIC. This workshop, run by the Art Therapist Silvia Cirronis, invites you to explore your cultural and ethnic heritage while celebrating the rich diversity of the Edinburgh community. A key guiding question will shape our session: What connects you to Edinburgh? What to Bring: A personal object that represents your ethnic or cultural background. A photo of a place in Edinburgh that holds positive meaning for you or makes you feel connected. (Printed versions are ideal, but if that’s not possible, feel free to use a digital photo on your device.) If you'd like, you can also bring any additional materials from home that resonate with your story. What to Expect: We will provide a wide range of materials for you to explore, create, and reflect as a group. Through guided exercises and open sharing, you’ll have the opportunity to deepen your connection to both your personal heritage and the collective identity of Edinburgh. We look forward to welcoming you into this enriching experience of creativity, reflection, and community. This class is sponsored by Edinburgh Council.
