Mindful nature group activity: Leaves & Lattes

Autumn has arrived in Edinburgh, so for our next gathering we will notice it up close. 🍁 Come wander, collect, and make something small and meaningful with us.

We will gather leaves of all shades, shapes, and sizes around the Meadows, then head to a café to arrange them into a pattern and stick them onto a sheet of paper. (We will bring the paper and the tape!) Neat, wild, symmetrical, chaotic- whatever pattern you feel like! (Trust me, nobody is judging our art skills.) 🌿

Then we will write a little about what we made: why we picked those leaves, why we arranged them that way, and what it means to us. We’ll share over a warm drink and a chat. Sharing is always optional. 💛

Past gatherings have been calm, friendly, and a lovely way to meet like-minded people. Whether you came last time or this is your first, we can’t wait to meet you! 🧡
