What's on in Eldindean

Midlothian, Scotland

Share:X / TwitterFacebookWhatsApp

Quiz nights where the debate over question 7 lasts longer than the quiz itself. Coffee mornings that turn into proper natter sessions. Craft fairs where you'll actually find something worth buying instead of the usual tat. That's Eldindean, and we've got it all listed — from book clubs to bingo, farmers' markets to film screenings. The sort of events where you'll probably bump into someone you know, which is either brilliant or your worst nightmare depending on whether you've been dodging Dave from the parish council.

Life Energy & Wholeness: Reconnecting with the Human System

About the Event Have you lost your excitement for life — when days begin to feel the same, with low mood, low energy, and a constantly busy mind? Perhaps you want to understand why you feel this way — and what can be done to change it. This talk offers a clear introduction to the Holistic Approach and is open to the general public. You don’t need any prior knowledge or experience. In this talk, we explore the role of life energy and why wholeness is essential for wellbeing. We look at how the human system functions as an interconnected whole — body, emotions, and mind — and how imbalance and fragmentation arise in modern life. About the Facilitator Led by Maija Kovalevska, holistic educator and speaker, and founder of Grounded Energies. With many years of experience working with wellbeing, self-awareness, and energy in everyday life, Maija offers an accessible and practical perspective on how the human system functions as a whole. groundedenergies.com phone Accessibility The Library is wheelchair accessible. The Salisbury Centre’s kitchen door and toilet are now wheelchair accessible. The Garden can also be accessed by wheelchairs via a movable ramp via the Art Room Annex.

Weekly Community Garden Volunteer Sessions (Drop-In)

When: Every Friday, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM (Drop-in basis) About: Step into our beautiful, thriving community permaculture garden for a day of connection, learning, and growth! Our weekly drop-in sessions are the heart of our green space, where volunteers come together to cultivate not just plants, but a vibrant community. This is your chance to get your hands in the soil, meet like-minded people, and learn practical, hands-on skills. What might you do on a Friday? You could be planting seeds in our 6 raised beds, nurturing seedlings in the greenhouse or polytunnel, learning to maintain our hazel coppice, tending to our fruit trees, or turning our compost system. Explore Edinburgh’s first Seed Library and join our special Seedy Social Seed Library sessions to swap, share, and learn about seed saving. Beyond growing, sessions can involve garden planning, creative nature crafting, food preserving workshops, or community DIY projects. Every task is a chance to learn and contribute. This is a truly collaborative space; we collectively decide what we grow, and volunteer input directly shapes our activities. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or have never held a trowel, you are welcome to join for an hour or the whole day to enjoy the peace of the garden and give back to the community. Community Lunch Every week, we join the community lunch from 1 – 2pm.
