Come and enjoy a day immersed in mindfulness. We will sit, walk, rest and eat together in stillness and friendship, generating peaceful, healing energy for the benefit of ourselves, our families and for the world.

Please arrive from 9:30 so that we can begin promptly at 10 and bring some plant-based food to share for lunch.

Details are on the flyer attached. Open to everyone, of all faiths and none. Donations to cover venue hire costs appreciated if possible.

You can just turn up but if you plan on coming it would be helpful if you put a comment in the contact us page to help us to gauge numbers.

Please share the flyer with friends who may appreciate it.

Please join us at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, John Hope Gateway, Arboretum Place, Edinburgh, EH3 5NZ on Sunday 31st March 2024 (Easter Sunday) at 10am. The gardens open at 10am.

Remember the clocks change that day!

This silent walking meditation is an open event. Before the walk begins there will be a brief introduction to mindful walking as a meditation practice. We should conclude by 11am.

This is not a protest or a campaigning event, so please do not use any banners. Our silence and togetherness in nature says it all at this time.

Children are welcome when accompanied by adults.

Please remember to wrap up warmly and note that no animals except Registered Assistance Dogs are permitted within the Garden.

This event is organised in collaboration with the Edinburgh International Centre for Spirituality and Peace who organise events throughout the year.

Just to let you know that this coming Thursday (21 December) will be the last Thursday evening practice session this year. We will be taking a break on 28 December. 

The first session in the 2024 will be on Thursday 4 January and then on Saturday 6 January 2024 there will be a Day of Mindfulness at St. Marks led by Gustaf. The session will be from 10am to 4pm but we suggest that you arrive a little earlier so that we are all ready to start at 10am. Please bring some plant-based food to share for lunch.

Wishing you all a peaceful, relaxed and restorative time.

Pete is offering a Morning of Mindfulness on Saturday 7th October, meeting at 10am at Lochend Park, (Lochend Rd S, Edinburgh EH7 6BP) by the wildfowl viewing platform.

He likes the poem ‘The Peace of Wild Things’ by Wendell Berry, and, although he doesn’t get up in the night and actually lie down beside a duck pond, he does sometimes go for a stroll around Lochend Loch to chill out.  So his suggestion for a Morning of Mindfulness is for us to have a mindful walk together around Lochend Loch, come back to his place to listen to a recording of a talk by Thay and then have a shared lunch.  It’s a bit of a touch and go as to whether the weather will be suitable in October, but hey, let’s just see what happens !

Attached are directions to Lochend Loch from the Balfour Street tram stop since parking is a bit awkward in Leith. Lochend Loch is about a 20 minutes gentle stroll from the tram stop. Wear suitable clothing and  please bring a little whole food plant-based food to share for lunch.

If you are coming along please let Pete know either by replying to the email he has sent out or by using the contact us form if you haven’t received an email.

A Day of Mindfulness with Dharma Teacher Susanne Olbrich on SATURDAY 9th SEPTEMBER, 2023, 10am-4.30pm Hosted by the Wild Geese Sangh, St. Mark’s Unitarian Church, 7 Castle Terrace, Edinburgh EH1 2DP.

A day to enjoy mindfulness meditation, togetherness and explore the fruits of our practice.

Please bring a harvest item and some lunch to share (see below).

Following our theme of “Harvest” we would like to create a harvest shrine so please bring something that symbolises harvest for you, e.g. a picture, an object from nature or something else that captures the energy of harvest. For our potluck lunch together, it would be wonderful if you could include a harvest ingredient that is locally or regionally sourced (accessible and affordable). This is an invitation to celebrate the gifts of the earth from allotments, local gardens, fields and farmers markets at this bountiful time of year. Arrival is from 9.30am for our 10am start.

Any questions please use the contact form.
