Binny in Bloom
Binny in Bloom is a project dedicated to creating a therapeutic centre for women facing breast cancer, a place where healing extends far beyond medicine. Nestled in the peaceful countryside of West Lothian and rooted in the once-loved Binny House, the retreat offers a nurturing environment that supports both emotional and physical wellbeing.
Through thoughtfully tailored therapies and restorative activities, Binny in Bloom becomes a sanctuary where women can rediscover the small joys of life within a supportive community. The centre offers both public and private areas, through spaces for connection, shared healing, and moments of independent reflection. I found it important to recognize the value of both community support and individual healing.
