Summer Solstice Welcome
Friday 19th - Sunday 21 June 2026
To welcome the summer solstice, the beginning of summer and the longest day; we will be posting a series of blogs and talks via videos. Brief introductions to our services, our experience and our goals.

A Remembrance Event in Honour of Survivors in the Scottish Borders and beyond
Join Seb and others either in person (contact us) or by watching the video and thoughts that will be shared here that day, for a heartfelt remembrance event, dedicated to honouring those who are with us and those who are no longer here—both known and unknown. This occasion will take place by the serene river, nestled within a peaceful park, surrounded by nature's beauty. Here, we will find a calm space for reflection and memories, allowing the gentle flow of water to inspire our thoughts.
Through this event, we celebrate resilience and the journey of survival while also acknowledging the impact of loss. It is a moment to uplift one another, to honour the lives past and present, and to recognise the strength within each of us. Join us as we take a step back in time, honouring the journeys of those who have walked beside us, paving the way for future generations. We encourage everyone to come with open hearts and minds, ready to reflect, remember, and rejoice in the beautiful fabric of life that unites us all.
