The Findhorn Foundation is the educational heart of the spiritual community founded in 1962 by Peter and Eileen Caddy and Dorothy Maclean in Morayshire, northeast Scotland.
Our work is based on the values of :
* living from our personal source of inner divine wisdom
* co-operation with the intelligence of nature
* service to the world
We have no formal creed or doctrine, and honour all the world's major religions as paths to our inner divinity. We believe humanity is engaged in an evolutionary expansion of consciousness, and we seek to develop new ways of living infused with spiritual values, in harmony with the earth and with each other.
We are a centre of spiritual education, offering people many ways to visit, live and work in a transformative community environment. Over 400 people live within or are locally connected to our community.
Our residential Experience Weeks began in 1974 and provide a powerful, often heart-opening, introduction to our spiritual principles and their application in daily life, and have been attended by over 30,000 people.
The development of our ecovillage is a continuation of our work with nature and is a tangible demonstration of the links between the environment and the social, economic and spiritual aspects of life. It is a constantly evolving model. The Findhorn Foundation is a founding member of Global Ecovillage Network and is associated with the Department of Public Information of the United Nations as a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO).
