Weekly Community Garden Volunteer Sessions (Drop-In)

When: Every Friday, 10:30 AM – 12:30 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.

PIR (Psychedelics in Recovery) Edinburgh Meeting

Event dates & times Every Friday from 18:30-19:30 Event description Join us in a new approach to recovery. Psychedelics in Recovery (PIR) is a 12-step fellowship for people from all recovery backgrounds, as well as those exploring recovery through personal growth, healing, and integration. Our weekly meeting provides a safe, supportive space where individuals share their experience, strength, and hope with one another. We welcome people in recovery from addiction and behavioural patterns, as well as those healing from trauma, or who have found psychedelics helpful in their journey with mental health, neurodivergence or disability. Our primary purpose is to pursue recovery and support others in their own recovery journey, as defined by each individual. The only requirement for participation is a desire to recover and/or an interest in the role psychedelics and plant medicines may play in a recovery process. Meetings are free to attend and open to anyone who resonates with this path.

Mantra Lounge @ The Salisbury Centre

When First Friday of the month, 18:30-21:00 About the Event Mantra Lounge is a refreshing alternative to a typical Friday night out. Let go of the week, welcome the weekend, and enjoy a deeply uplifting experience—without the hangover. Sound and music have a profound ability to move and transform us. Through Kirtan and mantra meditation, we explore this power by connecting spiritually through sound. We begin by listening to the vibrations of sacred mantras, then gently add our own voices, creating a beautiful and unexpected shared symphony. This joyful, soul-stirring form of meditation originates from an ancient spiritual tradition and has been practised for thousands of years in India. New to Kirtan? You’re very welcome. Our community is warm, diverse, and inclusive, and open to everyone. No experience is needed—just come along, relax, and enjoy. About the Organisation Kirtan Scotland – www.iskconscotland.org Accessibility The Library is fully 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. Please let the organisers know in advance of any access requirements.
