We invite you to a sacred ciorcal art workshop inspired by the monuments of Edinburgh to
celebrate 900years. From the famous to the hidden, we will explore the city’s
architectural landscape and creatively express its beauty and unique features through mandala painting.
The teacher Rachael will open the workshop with a guided meditation, which will include questions to help you explore your relationship with both the well-known and lesser-known parts of the city. We will then research what feels significant to you, from patterns to styles. You’ll have the opportunity to start forming ideas for your mandala.
There are many directions you can take in creating your piece—for example, you might draw inspiration from the city’s Gothic architecture as a whole, or focus on specific sculptures at St. Giles’ Cathedral. You may pay particular attention to the symbolically placed flags or the animals scattered throughout the city (e.g., Greyfriars Bobby).
The teacher will encourage you to seek inspiration from books in the room, as well as from your own experience, to curate your unique relationship with Edinburgh’s heritage.
This could be depicted through spirals, patterns, lines, shapes and textures.
The majority of the class will be spent creating mandala-style paintings that are rich in
meaning and connected to Edinburgh’s heritage.
Materials will be provided, including paints, canvas pads, pens, and pencils.
The workshop will close by gathering in a circle, where everyone will be invited to share what they have created and reflect on what resonates with them about the city.

27th JULY: FREE CACAO CEREMONY AND ART-MAKE YOUR MEDICINE BAG
In our fast-paced world, protecting our energy and honoring our needs has become more essential than ever. This 2-hour workshop combines the ancient heart-opening medicine of ceremonial cacao with the creation of personal medicine bags designed to support healthy boundaries and deep self-care.
Through the gentle guidance of ceremonial cacao, you will connect with their inner wisdom to understand what boundaries you need in your life. This isn't about building walls - it's about creating loving protection that allows your authentic self to flourish while filtering out what doesn't serve you.
During this transformative experience, you'll learn to:
Recognize the difference between healthy boundaries and harmful barriers
Identify energy drains and relationships that need clearer limits
Connect with your inner "no" and "yes" through heart-centered awareness
Create sacred space for your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being
While in the expanded heart space that cacao provides, you'll create a personal medicine bag that will serve as daily reminders of your commitment to self-care. These aren't just beautiful objects - they're powerful tools for maintaining energetic boundaries and supporting your well-being.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
The only medical contraindications are mixing Ceremonial Cacao with antidepressants, anti-psychotics, suffering from heart conditions, low blood pressure or serious illness. In this case, please let me know on the day and you will be offered herbal tea.
If you are on any anti-depressants, antipsychotics or any medication for mental health please get in touch with me. Ceremonial Cacao can cause serious interactions.
Please arrive with an empty stomach - no food for 3-4 hours prior to the ceremony. A little fruit is fine if you desperately need it, however the Cacao is very filling and nourishing!Please avoid caffeine, alcohol, dairy, red meat and junk food for 24 hours before and after - they do not mix well with Cacao. Keep well hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
If you smoke, please try to reduce as much as possible, especially if it is not pure tobacco due to the chemicals as cacao is a strong stimulant & detoxifier.If you want to get the very best out of the ceremony and support your integration, it is recommended to continue this diet for 48-72 hours before and after.
Open to all – everyone welcome.
