Findhorn Foundation, Educational organization in Moray, Scotland.
The Findhorn Foundation is a community on approximately 30 hectares of land with meditation spaces, gardens, and ecologically designed buildings. The center combines residential areas with educational and gathering spaces within a unified settlement.
The community was established in 1962 by Peter Caddy, Eileen Caddy, and Dorothy Maclean and received official foundation status in 1972. This transition marked its shift from an experimental settlement to an established organization.
The community emphasizes living in harmony with nature while practicing sustainability and shared learning. Visitors experience a place where these principles are visible in daily activities like gardening and group gatherings.
Visitors can explore the gardens and attend public events and guided meditation sessions available most days. It helps to check the website beforehand to learn about current activities and access details.
The site houses about forty independent businesses run by residents, including an alternative health center and a publishing house. These scattered enterprises show how the community weaves economic activity with its values.
