New Portobello Class
Next term starts Monday 30th June 2025
Monday 9:30 - 10:45am
Our new Daoyin Qigong Porty class (Level 1-2) is a great introduction to the Gathering Essence work and a valuable addition to our current range of classes. This Monday morning session is centred in the standing and mat work elements of our practice.
This class is designed to open the joints and tissues, clear stagnation and tonify the fascia, fluid and Qi systems as a means to harmonise the bodymind. As with all our classes it is grounded in a meditative approach and you will be encouraged to work within your range of ease. Open to beginners and more experienced practitioners alike.
Welcome
We teach Embodied Biodynamic Meditation in Edinburgh and online. Our teachings draw on the roots of Daoist and Buddhist movement and meditation practices as well as a modern Biodynamic understanding. This forms a comprehensive toolkit for conscious living that can be integrated into everyday life to nourish and cultivate the body, mind, and spirit.
Our inclusive teachings are open to everybody interested in an alive, ongoing enquiry into the nature of consciousness.
Craniosacral Therapy
With a choice of four therapists each bringing something unique to the table, Gathering Essence has a long-standing reputation as the place to go for Craniosacral Therapy in Edinburgh. A gentle, yet powerful form of bodywork, craniosacral supports the body and mind to resolve tension and restore health and vitality.
Autumn Retreat 2025
We are now taking bookings for our Autumn Retreat which is held at Cardy Net House in Fife. The retreats are open to Gathering Essence students at levels 2 & 3. Please book early to secure your space as numbers are limited.
