At the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) we love spiders but know that not everyone does! 🕷️Spiders are amazing creatures with incredible adaptations. They are an essential part of the ecosystem and those found in the UK are completely harmless and would rather avoid humans.
We understand how a fear of spiders can really begin to impact people’s everyday lives. Based on our previous ‘Spiders: Fight Your Phobia’ workshop, we have refreshed and re-worked this interactive session to help you get you closer to overcoming your spider fear.
Our workshops are split into three sections – theory, mindfulness and practical catch-and-release – to help you develop your comfortability around spiders in a friendly, relaxed and supportive atmosphere.
Alongside our expert keepers, we are joined by Karen Barr, an experienced and accredited mindfulness teacher and practitioner who will lead the mindfulness sections of the workshops. With a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and a MSc in Mindfulness, Karen has a wealth of knowledge and expertise delivering mindfulness programmes in accordance with the guidelines set out by BAMBA.
The workshops are suitable for participants aged 16 and over and includes entry into Edinburgh Zoo for the day.
