About This Event

Alan Spence will guide a session at ScotlandsFest, the literary festival hosted by Luath Press during the Edinburgh Fringe, at St Columba’s by the Castle Scottish Episcopal Church on Monday 24 August 2026, beginning at midday. The event, titled A Wee Bit Zen – when less is more, delves into notions of simplicity and mindfulness through poetry and conversation. Spence, a poet and playwright, draws upon his own creative work and wider spiritual traditions to steer the discussion. Attendees can expect a reflective exploration of how embracing less can lead to greater clarity and calm. Tickets for the session are available at prices ranging from £6.13 to £11.55.
