Maclean
The Findhorn Foundation is the organisational and educational
heart of the world-famous eco village and spiritual community founded
in 1962 by Peter and Eileen Caddy and Dorothy Maclean in Morayshire,
north-east Scotland, close to the traditional Scottish village of
Findhorn.
In late 1962 they became unemployed and, for want of any other accommodation,
settled in a caravan near the village of Findhorn. In early 1963
an annex was built so that Dorothy Maclean could live close to the
Caddy family. They began organic gardening as a way of growing food.
To this activity they brought their spiritual practices, which they
believed led to communication with nature spirits, under whose guidance
the garden flourished. Peter Caddy also introduced the positive
thinking practices he had learned in the Rosicrucian Order Crotona
Fellowship.
 Its
work is based on the natural health and healing values of :
* living from our personal source of inner divine wisdom
* co-operation with the intelligence of nature
* service to the world
Findhorn is a centre of spiritual education, offering people many
ways to visit, live and work in a transformative community environment.
Since the 1980s numerous organisations have started up in the vicinity
of Findhorn which have an affiliation of some kind with the Findhorn
Foundation. These include Ekopia, Moray Steiner School, Phoenix
Community Stores & The Isle of Erraid. Collectively they now
form an ecovillage which aims to demonstrate a positive model of
a viable, sustainable human and planetary future. As of 2005 the
ecovillage is comprised of around 450 members.
In December 1997 the Findhorn Foundation was approved for formal
Association with the UN Department of Public Information as an NGO.
In September 2006 a new sustainable development training facility,
CIFAL Findhorn was launched. This is a joint initiative between
The Moray Council, the Global Ecovillage Network, the Findhorn Foundation
and UNITAR.
