ABOUT THIS WORK

Come and be a part of our Samhain: an Intergenerational community event, led by Mark Halliday, Claudia Goncalves and The Planetary Healing Centre's team.

This special event is a chance for us to pay homage to the wisdom of the ancestors of this land and their timeless traditions. As a community, we will gather to celebrate this Samhain recognising the profound significance it holds. These moments of power serve as reminders for us to honour and commemorate the cycles of nature and our place within them.

Join us as we come together to embrace the spirit of unity and appreciation for the natural world. Through ceremonies, and shared experiences, we will deepen our connection to the rhythms of the Earth and celebrate the beauty of Samhain.

We look forward to your presence at this meaningful gathering, where generations will unite to honour our shared heritage and rejoice in the magic of the Samhain.
 

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.

PARKING

Parking at Cockburnhill Road just after Pirnie Ha’ house. The woodland is only 3 minutes walking as you turn right from there. No parking in front of the woodland please as it causes problems for cars passing by.
