What are the values and aims of the Findhorn Community?
A. Most people come here with the intention of finding new and better ways of living as a co-creative community. Although a body of diverse opinion provides the community with that creativity, there is a general agreement to live more lightly on the earth and a commitment to sustainable living practices. The community wrestles with many issues related to the social spectrum of an ecovillage, such as meaningful work, decision-making, and financial sustainability, to name a few. Many people have also founded independent charities as a result of living and working here. Trees for Life works to restore the native Caledonian Forest; Ekologia works with Russian orphans; the Nepal Trust builds health centres in Nepal. Moray Steiner School provides education fro 3 -14 + year olds. Shambala Trust is a nearby Tibetean Buddhish centre ; Healthworks offers complimentary health sessions and there are many independent health and wholeness practitioners in our area. We are a spiritual community, alth
