# Art and Spirituality: Community Wellbeing Hub
Art and Spirituality CIC is a community social enterprise operating a dedicated wellbeing hub in Gorgie, Edinburgh. Since 2022, they've provided accessible creative arts, movement and holistic therapies to local residents through studio classes, workshops and community events.
The organisation distinguishes itself through genuine commitment to inclusivity. Rather than serving a general audience, they actively target those facing participation barriers—including people experiencing isolation, anxiety, trauma, low income and hidden disabilities, plus Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities. This isn't performative; they partner with the Gorgie Dalry Forum to ensure services reach those with greatest need.
Their programming reflects this philosophy. Classes span painting, drawing, yoga, breathwork, meditation, cooking and storytelling, deliberately scheduled for working people (evenings and weekends). Many activities are completely free, whilst funded programmes support specific populations like women-only groups. They extend beyond their studio walls, hosting events in local green spaces like Saughton Park and embedding sustainability into their operations.
Led by volunteer directors and facilitators, Art and Spirituality treats creative expression as a practical pathway to improved mental, emotional and physical health. Their underlying philosophy recognises that when individuals experience wellbeing, they contribute more meaningfully to families, neighbours and wider community—making this genuinely about social benefit rather than profit.
