Where Nature heals, community grows.

“At the Planetary Healing Centre, we believe that offering people experiences of nature, community and inner stillness plants the seeds of a healthier, more connected world — for people, for community, and for the planet.”

About our work

The Planetary Healing Centre is a Scottish charity based in the community woodland of Balerno, Edinburgh. For over 23 years, we have been bringing people together in nature to support mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. We believe that personal healing and planetary healing are deeply connected. When individuals find stillness, belonging, and reconnection with the natural world, they carry that healing outward — into their families, their neighbourhoods, and the wider world. Our programmes are grounded in a commitment to accessibility. All our sessions are offered on a donation bases or free of charge.

At The Planetary Healing Centre, community empowerment is at the core of our work. We foster an inclusive space where people from diverse backgrounds can come together, share wisdom, and support each other on their respective journeys. Through collaborative projects, skill-sharing, and community events, we cultivate a sense of belonging and co-creation, enabling individuals to harness their unique gifts and contribute positively to the world around them.

We provide vital resources and tools for personal wellbeing, equipping individuals with the necessary skills to navigate life's challenges and cultivate resilience. By supporting individuals in their personal growth and healing, we contribute to the overall wellbeing and resilience of the community.

We also actively engage in practices that promote sustainability, conservation, and ecological restoration, helping to address pressing environmental concerns and protect our natural resources for future generations.

To continue our important work, we rely on donations from the community and the support of funders who share our vision and values. By supporting our Charity, you contribute to the wellbeing of individuals, the health of the planet, and the overall betterment of the community.

Together, we can sow the seeds of transformation, promote holistic wellbeing, and inspire a more conscious and compassionate world.
