ABOUT THIS WORK

We will move around the wheel of the year, orienting ourselves temporally and physically to the seasons and cycles of life, reconnecting to nature, ourselves, and to others.

We will have time to share as a community in a safe space. Learning games, songs, and nature activities to share with our families, friends, and wider community

The work each one of us is called to do right now on Earth is work essential to empower the future generation and support our Planet.

WHERE

Meet at The Planetary Healing Community Woodland, Cockburnhill Road, Balerno, EH14 7JB. Bus 44 / 44A. Stop at the third bus stop after the roundabout. From there, enter Cockburnhill Road and walk for approximately 15 minutes and at the V junction turn right and walk for 2 minutes.

If you are driving, please ignore the SAT Nav at the very end as it takes you to the other farm, park at Cockburnhill Road near Pirnie Ha' house (which is the only house on the right). From there, go straight ahead until you reach the V junction, where you will need to turn right and walk for another 2 minutes. Upon arriving at the woodland gate, there are 7 small bridges to cross before reaching the Hut, which is situated at the end of the woodland. Along the way, you will pass by the Yurt and the composting toilet.
