Breathwork Workshop: "Breathe in Edinburgh's Heritage"As part of the Edinburgh 900 anniversary celebrations, join us for a transformative Breathwork Workshop, designed to connect you with the essence of mindful breathing while honoring the rich, diverse cultural heritage of our vibrant city. This 2-hour session will guide participants through the art of conscious breathing, a practice rooted in various cultural traditions across the globe. In this workshop, we will also explore the language of breath, learning different words and terms related to breathing from various cultures. You'll discover how the simple act of pausing to breathe can be a powerful tool in navigating conversations, especially when speaking a language that is not your own. This session will help you cultivate the mindfulness needed to communicate with clarity and calm, bridging linguistic and cultural gaps. Our goal is to create a space where participants from different backgrounds can come together to share and experience the universal power of breath. By engaging in this practice, we celebrate not only Edinburgh's historic 900 years but also the multicultural influences that have shaped our city. Whether you're new to breathwork or a seasoned practitioner, this workshop offers an opportunity to deepen your connection to yourself and others in our community. Let’s breathe together, learn together, and celebrate the unity in our diversity.

Medicine Journey: Healing in Community Healing is not a solo journey - all of us require connection, support and accountability to keep us moving in the right direction. Ceremonies open deep doors, but without the right preparation and integration, those openings can feel overwhelming, incomplete and at worst, harmful. This framework is designed to teach and empower you to harness the power of community as an essential vessel for your ongoing healing and growth. What Makes This Different: Harness the Power of Community: By preparing and integrating as part of a small group, you’ll discover how connection and mutual support amplify the transformative potential of your journey. Empower Yourself: By becoming your own healer. We will give you the tools, insights, and confidence to navigate your healing path long after the ceremony itself. Be Part of a Framework for Growth: You’ll join a micro-community that extends beyond the ceremony, offering support, accountability, and resources to keep you grounded, inspired and moving forward. What’s Included: Pre-Ceremony Preparation: Participate in a group call to set intentions, open up, and connect with your fellow participants. Learn how to prepare to get the most out of your medicine journey. Receive a comprehensive guide on how to prepare. 1-1 Consultation: A private consultation with Diego to discuss and decide on the right dose for your journey. You will receive a link to book this call upon booking. The Ceremony: Step into a safe, sacred space for healing in a small group ceremony, where you’ll be supported yet empowered to work by taking your intention directly to the medicine. Integration and Ongoing Support: After the ceremony, you’ll receive a comprehensive guide, join a follow-up call, and continue to thrive as part of a micro-community hub designed to keep you on track. This is a chance to experience a framework of support that can transform one journey into long-lasting growth. Booking Details: Total cost: £300 (balance payable two weeks before the ceremony). £30 non-refundable deposit to reserve your spot. Upcoming Ceremony Dates: Sunday 25th May, 12–6pm (max group 5) Group Call Dates:* Preparation - Monday 19th May, 7-8.30pm Integration - Monday 2nd June, 7-8.30pm *Please note, if you are unable to make a call, you can still join the hub, and will still have access to the same resources. Please take the time to introduce yourself and connect with the rest of the group once you join the hub. Spaces are intentionally limited to keep the group intimate. If you’re ready, you can book your spot today.
