Scot-ART
Attached is a poem about St Margaret’s Well, written by artist in residency Leilani Teneus-Miller. She had recently an exhibition in Gallery one as a part of Diversity and Inclusion Award from the Edinburgh Council.
Please enjoy.
Scot-ART’s very own Constantine has been the resident artist at the virgin hotels for the past two months. The three month residency program helps to provide a platform for Edinburgh based artists and creates to promote and display their work.
You can view his work in The Unicorn Room, located within the old India Buildings’ turret. This is a free space for the public to come and support the work of local artists.
Early bird Discount for September retreat until end May 2024 and first retreat special price for the May retreat – 450 shared accommodation/600 single room residential.
During the last three years, I have been spending time in the Borders, walking, writing, drawing, taking photographs, foraging, reflecting, practising in the woods. It is another special place in Scotland. It gave me the chance to reconnect deeply with my creative soul and play, explore, be curious, inspired. I would like to share with you ways of reconnect/ connect with your creative soul, or simply nourish it and go back refreshed. We will explore; walk, observe; take photos; write; draw; make home remedies. As much or as little of it all. Have interesting conversations. We may notice what grows and what one may be drawn to make from it, or how one is inspired to connect to what is in the surroundings, playing with responding spontaneously to what calls us to tune into our inspiration, intuition, and imagination from whichever direction it may come. You may join in all the suggested activities, suggest others, or simply use the time and space to explore, rest, have interesting conversations or something else. What nourishes us? How do we feel inspired? There are lovely walks around the area, or if you wish you can sit by the fire in the beautiful home. I I will be happy to suggest/join in walks in the local area.
Vegetarian breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided. We cook together, recipes and ingredients are provided.
The retreat is in a beautiful eco house up a farm track, which offers a modern and spacious venue for this. Accommodation is in comfortable rooms, one has a double bed, two have beds that can be set up as a Twin room or as a double bed. There is max 5 spaces in the house, and 4 more people can join, if renting your own accommodation elsewhere.
There will be breathwork and meditation sessions early morning and evening, and if the weather is on our side, yoga outside on the beautiful lawn may be possible.
Arrival is on Monday from 4 pm and departure Friday morning by 10 am.
The minimum number to go ahead is 3, in case three of you wish a single room.
Single room can be booked here. Please contact me on annamaria@bodysymphonies.co.uk for shared room 🙂

A huge Congratulations from all of us at Scot-ART!
This is an opportunity for an new or developing glass artist or artists, to take on a complete studio, including studio rental. The sale includes all you need to develop to develop a commercial, craft or artistic practice rapidly, and at a very reduced cost.
The studio is at St. Margaret’s House, 151 London Road, Edinburgh. It has been operating as a successful architectural glass business (as Alan Robinson Glass) for a number of years. The studio is fitted out with customised bench, cupboards, shelving, light box, plan chest, glass store and glass kiln.
There is an extensive range of materials and equipment including, sheet glass, lead cames, solder, fusing glass supplies, slumping moulds, glass painting equipment and supplies, glass casting supplies, glass grinder, soldering irons, hand tools, etc.
My preference is for a person or persons to take on the entire studio contents and if desired, may also take on the rental of the studio as tenants, with Scot-ART. It may be that someone wishes to only acquire parts of the materials and equipment along with the studio rental, and I can discuss proposals for this. The agreement of the studio owners, Scot-ART, will be necessary for any rental arrangement to be granted.
If this approach does not work out, I will then proceed to sell off the contents and furnishings in separate lots and give up the studio.
The studio will be closing at the end of October.
If you are interested in receiving further information about this studio sale, including costs and/or would like to visit the studio, or discuss the sale with me, please get in touch via the contact details below.

In this class we get in touch with our fluid body, tissues and get to know ourselves and what moves and how and what doesn’t. Gradually we develop fluidity, lightness, a change in state which supports the shift to strenghtening and lenghtening work for a period, followed by deep rest.
I started practising in 1991, trained in the Iyengar system to senior level over 25 years and trained teachers during pandemic with the Body Symphonies teacher training. My way of teaching now is the result of integration of my experience and work as a previously Iyengar teacher as well as a craniosacral therapist and movement practitioner.
