● Findhorn Foundation:

It is part of an spiritual and international community located in the Northwest of Scotland. It was founded Eileen and Peter Caddy besides Dorothy Maclean in 1962. Now there are more than 500 people from different nationalities and ages living in the community, connected by a common vision of creating an universal culture based on spiritual principles.

The Foundation is a centre of education and experience that offers the opportunity of visiting, living and exploring different work areas. In the Foundation the common language is English and the workshops are in this language. However, workshops in other languages are offered in some occasions.

To participate in any of the Foundation programs, it is obligatory to participate in The Experience Week that is an introduction to their life style and spiritual principles. You will work in one of their departments with the rest of the people who live there and the week also includes activities of personal development like meditation, sacred dance, a nature outing and being part of a supportive group, all combined with laughter and love.
