Findhorn Experience Week

Experience Week

An introduction to the essence of the Findhorn Foundation

For over forty years, the best way to come here and find out what it’s like!

These seven days provide the ideal way to meet, engage with and share in

an ever-evolving journey of deeply sustainable community living. As part of a

group, you will be introduced to the spiritual principles and activities on which

this dynamic community is based.

You join in most aspects of daily life here and experience our rhythms and

practices. Four days of the week will include a few hours in one of our service

departments - the gardens, kitchen, dining room, homecare or maintenance -

giving you many opportunities to experience our practice of ‘love in action’ and

to interact with other people in the community.

One of the aims of our community is to create an environment that enables

each one of us to deepen our connection with all of life, and to open to

transformation within ourselves and within the group. The invitation is to let go

of limitations, open to love, and be the change you want to see in the world.

Experience Week is a rich and active week that asks for participation for most

of the day and many evenings. We ask that you come willing to participate

fully, to give of yourself and engage with others. Be open to surprise!

All of these elements are also part of the Themed Experience Weeks we offer.

The programme runs from Saturday to Friday evening, and includes seven

nights accommodation and all meals, from the first Saturday lunchtime

through until breakfast on the Saturday morning of your departure. You should

arrive before noon on the first day of your Experience Week, so that the group

can begin together. You need to speak and understand English reasonably well

- if you cannot, we do offer Experience Weeks in other languages. Please see

page 10.

Experience Week runs at both sites of the Findhorn Foundation, The Park and

Cluny Hill. There are opportunities to experience both sites during the week.

Please join us for this adventure in new ways of living and relating, helping to

create a positive future for humanity and our planet.
