The Salisbury Centre

The Salisbury Centre Holistic Education Centre Unifying Mind, Body and Spirit

Since 1973 we have offered educational courses, workshops and therapies for spiritual, emotional and physical well-being. The inter-connectedness of body, mind and spirit, as symbolised in the Celtic Trine, is the foundation of our work and we believe that healings and growth arise naturally from this recognition.

🌟 53 Years of Community & Connection 🌟

Today, we mark a very special milestone: The Salisbury Centre is 53 years young! ✨

Our little haven on the edge of Holyrood Park has been a home for mindfulness, creativity, and heartfelt connection. From our roots as a pioneering community project to the vibrant, welcoming space we are today, every step of this journey has been woven together by you—our incredible community.

Thank you to every volunteer, neighbour, workshop leader, gardener, tea-drinker, and seeker of peace who has walked through our door. Thank you for sharing in meditation, yoga, arts, and conversation. Thank you for helping tend the garden and uphold the quiet, transformative magic of this place.

Here’s to 53 years of quiet moments, big ideas, growing friendships, and deep roots. We couldn’t be more grateful to continue this journey with you all.

With warmest thanks,
The Salisbury Centre Team

Gather round, friends. ❤️🔥

We’re kicking off the new year with something truly special: the return of our Fireside Sessions.

On Wednesday 14th January, we’ll be welcoming the wonderful Joanie Bone as our guest musician. Joanie is a devoted singer and dharma practitioner who weaves beautiful, heartfelt mantras and songs—perfect for an evening of deep listening.

Held by our host, firekeeper and ceremonialist , we’ll sit in circle around the sacred fire to nurture our souls, build community, and share in song and story. It’s a space to simply be.

Spaces are intimate, so book your spot via the link on our website. We can’t wait to share the warmth with you.

What if decluttering could be more than tidying your home?
In this 3-week journey, we’ll approach decluttering as a spiritual practice – a way to cultivate gratitude, presence, and discernment. Together, in a supportive community setting, we’ll explore how letting go of the excess can make space for what truly matters.

Format:
* 3 weekly in-person sessions (90 minutes each)
* 2 optional online accountability sessions (body doubling), 2 hours each

 In-person sessions (Mondays, 6:30 – 8:00 PM):
* November 10
* November 17
* November 24

 Optional online accountability (Saturdays, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM):
* November 22
* November 29

Room:
Wellspring Room at The Salisbury Centre

About the facilitator:
Rebecca is the founder of Spark Joy & Flow, a holistic practice dedicated to helping individuals declutter and organize their lives – both physically and emotionally. As the first and only Master-level KonMari Consultant based in Scotland, Rebecca combines the transformative principles of the KonMari Method with the compassionate, legacy-focused approach of Swedish Death Cleaning to support people through times of transition and renewal.

With a background in coaching and years of hands-on experience guiding clients of all ages and life stages, Rebecca brings warmth, clarity, and deep respect to every journey she facilitates. Her work centers on helping people let go with confidence, reconnect with what truly matters, and create spaces—and lives—that reflect their values and spark genuine joy.

Rebecca lives in Edinburgh with her husband and two wonderfully sensitive daughters, and is passionate about turning life’s inevitable changes into meaningful opportunities for growth, connection, and self-discovery.

Join us for ✨ Samhain celebration ✨ on the 1st of November as we bid our farewells to Summer and welcome in Winter.

Samhain marks the end and the beginning of the Celtic New Year, affirming rebirth in the midst of death and darkness. With your help, and in sharing food, songs, prayers and offerings around the sacred fire we are hoping to bring forth values of empathy, kindness and community in these troubling times. 🍂 🍁
