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.

As the nights draw in and the last of the autumn light fades, we gather around the fire to mark SAMHAIN — the turning of the year and the beginning of winter.

In the Gaelic seasonal calendar, Samhain marks a threshold: a time when the harvest gives way to the darker months, the natural world retreats into rest, and the boundaries between the familiar and the unknown seem to grow thinner.

Join us around the fire for an evening of stories, reflection and seasonal ritual, drawing inspiration from the folklore and traditions of Scotland, Ireland, the wider Celtic world, and beyond.

There will be space to listen, reflect, share, and simply be together. We'll gather around the fire, with seasonal offerings, folklore and opportunities to honour the changing season in our own ways.

When: Saturday 31 October, doors: 5:30PM; fire lit at 6, event ends 8:30pm

Where: The Salisbury Centre, 2 Salisbury Rd, EH16 5AB

Cost: By donation, but please book via Eventbrite to guarantee entrance - there are limited spaces!

Very excited for the opening of a very special exhibition in two weeks time at the Salisbury Centre!

An exhibition by Jack Thomas

Magical Worlds explores the mystical elements of ordinary reality through collage, drawing inspiration from magical realism and the imaginative world-building of artists such as Leonora Carrington.

Drawing on influences from classic Surrealist works to the thangkas of Nepali monasteries, the exhibition explores the intersection of cosmology, mysticism, and humour.

In a zeitgeist saturated by images, collage offers a playful way to navigate chaos and forge some element of harmony. Through the process of gathering, dissecting, rearranging and settling, disparate images click together like a jigsaw, evoking strange stories and feelings.

Opening night 7th November, 6pm - 8pm

Exhibition Opening Hours

Fridays: 12 – 4:30 pm,
13th November – 18th December

Other visits: By appointment via [email protected]

In 2027, we are planning to put on a new programme of affordable (by-donation and sliding scale) events curated by the Salisbury Centre. We're calling it our Signature Programme!

In particular, we're looking for events, classes, workshops, and gatherings around the themes of:

💭 Psychological growth

🕯️ Spiritual growth

🎨 Creativity

🌻 Ecological wellbeing

💃 Movement / embodiment

We would also love to hear from people and groups who are interested in hosting our seasonal celebrations (Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, etc.) and monthly Community Feasts.

We're intending all the events to be on a 50/50 income split model, rather than a flat room hire rate. We hope for a mix of high-income and medium-income events, as well as some events inviting marginalised groups at very low or no cost. This is our best attempt at offering an accessible event programme while we don't have external funding to support it.

If you'd like to be a part of the Signature Programme, please follow the link in our bio - the form is listed as "Signature Program 2027 - Expression of Interest".

If you have any questions about applying or our Signature Programme, please email [email protected]

The bay window and wonderful tall plants of The Studio, our largest room at The Salisbury Centre.

Do you have any events you love that happen here ?

It’s this time of year again when we gather to celebrate, enjoy hot beverages, warm up around the fire, and buy gifts for loved ones! If you want to do all of that while supporting the Salisbury Centre’s activities in 2027, you can already book Sunday 13th December in your calendar!

This is a free-entry, drop-in event. If you’d like to help us, we welcome:

🖼️ Inquiries from potential stallholders (we are aiming for 8-12 stallholders, overall)

📚 Donations for things to sell at the Salisbury Centre stall on the day (books, antiques, crafty objects, plants, anything!)

🙋 Volunteers who want to help us on the day!

If you’re interested in any of this, please email [email protected] and put “Winter Fundraiser” in the subject line.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Some lovely piano in the Art Room by Sam, who works in the office admin team!

The Art Room is a spacious, bright room that is great for musical performances, sound baths, dance and guided meditations amongst other activities.

Feeling supremely autumnal looking out into the Garden from the Garden Room! Lovely to see the leaves turn yellow after the long days of summer.

The Garden Room is a peaceful space great for therapy, meditations and small group meetings.

Exciting news - at The Salisbury Centre, we are now starting a transition to a new booking system!

This will be a big improvement both for our room hirers and staff, as it will make the booking process way more straightforward.

For one thing, we'll have a public availability calendar you'll be able to see before making a booking request! 🙌

While we are working on that, we also want to give you a heads-up that through the month of October (and possibly slightly beyond), the day-to-day office will be running on limited capacity. This is so we can focus on the transition and do it as smoothly as possible.

More info coming soon, but for now, we are asking for your patience, as it may take us a bit longer to get back to you than usual.

If you have an urgent question or last-minute booking request, please call the office within office hours (Wednesday-Friday, 10:00 - 14:00).

Thank you for your understanding!

Very excited for our autumn equinox celebration happening this Sunday!

There will be space for a simple fire ritual in which we can symbolically place into the flames something that no longer serves us, making room for whatever wants to emerge next.

We’ll also lean into the more inward, receptive, and traditionally feminine qualities of this part of the cycle: listening, gathering, tending, nourishing, reflecting and allowing things to mature in their own time.

You’re very welcome to bring something to offer to the fire: an instrument, a song, a poem, a story, a reading, or simply your presence. You don’t need to perform or contribute anything at all. You can come, listen, warm yourself by the fire, and be part of the circle.

Time: 6:30pm - 8:30pm (Fire lit at 7pm)

This event is by donation, and nobody will be turned away for financial reasons. However, any donations you can make support the Salisbury Centre and its charitable aims and are greatly appreciated.

You can follow the link in our bio to book your place today – it’s a great help to our volunteers to have an idea of turnout for the event!
