Art and Spirituality CIC is a creative and healing center based in Gorgie, featuring a yoga studio, therapy room, and a welcoming cafe. Since becoming a social enterprise in 2022, we have engaged over 12,000 attendances (90% women) across nearly 2,000 classes and therapies.
Led by a volunteer team of three passionate ethnic minority women, our mission is to improve mental, emotional, and physical well-being while cultivating a non-judgmental sense of belonging and amplifying underrepresented voices.
