About the Findhorn Foundation

The Findhorn Foundation is a dynamic experiment where everyday life is guided by the inner voice of spirit, where we work in co-creation with the intelligence of nature and take inspired action towards our vision of a better world. We share our learning and way of life in experiential workshops, conferences and events that take place within a thriving community and ecovillage.

The Foundation has two main sites. The Park, nestled amidst dunes and forest, bay and beach, is an ecovillage that is home to many of our staff and a larger community of people living with shared values. Cluny Hill is a stately Victorian former hotel, five miles away from The Park, which houses staff and welcomes participants in our workshops and events. Our retreat house on the island of Iona, and the satellite community on the neighbouring island of Erraid, also welcome participants for life-changing experiences on the wild, wind-swept west coast of Scotland.

The Findhorn Foundation is an NGO associated with the United Nations Department of Public Information, holder of UN Habitat Best Practice designation and is co-founder of the Global Ecovillage Network and Holistic Centres Network. The Foundation is at the heart of a community of more than 500 people who every day support and live the vision of creating a better world by starting with themselves.

The Findhorn Foundation is at the heart of an extraordinary community and ecovillage in the northeast of Scotland.

Community life provides the spiritual and social framework in which to experiment with new ways of being. Living together and practising spiritual values creates the transformative environment where learning takes place naturally through the ordinary activities of daily life. We work through conflicts, celebrate seasonal rhythms, eat, work and play together, acknowledge life’s milestones and explore new forms of leadership, economics and governance.

In the 1990s a community grew up around the Findhorn Foundation as more people, attracted to the Foundation’s ethos, settled at The Park. In 1998 the New Findhorn Association was created as an umbrella organisation that facilitates and encourages development of the whole community.

Today the Foundation is the largest organisation within the NFA, which now has approximately 350 individual members and a membership of 40 holistic businesses and charities. All are linked by a shared positive vision for humanity and the earth, and a commitment to the deep and practical spirituality practised here in everyday life.
