Since the early days of the community, the Findhorn Foundation has been pioneering a new way of living on the earth and linking up with other centres all over the world to form a network of love and light.
Co-founder Peter Caddy said, “It is very much our work to be a point of synthesis, to link centres together to see where we can unite. Each centre has something different that we can learn from, that they can give to us, and we can give to them.”
In this spirit of synthesis the Findhorn Foundation hosted the annual International Holistic Centres Gathering in May 2012, a meeting of peers from around the world who came together to share ideas, experience, hopes and challenges, to learn from and inspire each other, and support the planetary transformation that is unfolding with increasing momentum.
One of the participants Peter Andrew from Network News in Wales said, “I experienced it as a rare opportunity for pioneering souls from around the world to gather for mutual support and affirmation, achieved in an ideal setting, and clearly planned with great care.” (more…)

The Beshara School first emerged some forty years ago as of one of the UK’s first alternative healing centres at Swyre Farm in the Cotswolds.
Under the guidance of Bulent Rauf a Turkish émigré and man of the rarest refinement and wisdom, the vibrant and fertile mix of aspirations that characterised Swyre Farm became a more focused educational collective known as the Beshara School, or simply Beshara.
Since the early 70’s the School has been running courses in what is called intensive esoteric education more or less continuously at it’s main centre at Chisholme House in the Scottish Borders. Courses and group study are also run around the world when there is a need and request. (more…)

Newbold House is a beautiful Victorian mansion set in an oasis of nature in the north east of Scotland. The Mission of this workshop and sustainability education centre is ‘developing, practicing and sharing skills for sustainable living, in harmony with ourselves, each other and the earth’.
The house is set in extensive organic gardens, surrounded by woods and close to wonderful coastline, ancient forest, river valleys and mountains. Newbold House has close ties to the nearby Findhorn Foundation spiritual community and ecovillage and can arrange visits and tours.
The centre is run by a small resident community with help from working guests and volunteers from all walks of life, who share a common vision. The house offers a wonderful nurturing venue for workshops, our ‘home-grown’ courses, personal retreats, B&B and special events.
Guests can enjoy a peaceful space to recharge their batteries, spend some time surrounded by nature, take part in a workshop or just experience life in community, exploring creative, sustainable ways of being and working together.
Christopher Raymont, the Focaliser of Newbold House, will be attending the 2012 Gathering hosted by the Findhorn Foundation.
Grundstein Neukirchen
Posted in Findhorn 2012, Participants 2012, Visit a Center, tagged Findhorn Foundation, International Holistic Centers Gathering on May 9, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Grundstein (Foundationstone) Neukirchen was founded in March 2001 as a community project based on the holistic homeopathy research of Edith Helene Dörre and a group of friends and colleagues.
In this research the diversity of perspectives and the step into a new integral awareness and planetary consciousness play a decisive role. Integral here means also the acceptance and integration or inclusion of the shadow parts of each being and our times.
Being offered the spacious accommodation of a former youth centre at the Baltic Sea in Northern Germany the place holds enough space as a home for an intentional community as well as for an educational centre with accommodation for temporary guests (90 beds).
As a non-profit association of artists, educators, therapists and craftsmen, we are dedicated to a variety of ways of experiential and holistic education. Community building, encounter, inspiration and lively exchange are our core concern.
The life on this wonderful spot at the Baltic enables us and our guests to live together inspired by each other and by the surrounding nature. (more…)
Findhorn, Kitezh and Ecologia Youth Trust

Liza Hollingshead, Founder of Ecologia Youth Trust
The Findhorn Foundation, are excited to welcome the founder of Kitezh Children’s Community, Dmitry Morozov and two key members of the Russian foster family community to visit us here in Scotland in May.
There is a strong connection between the Findhorn Community and Kitezh through Ecologia Youth Trust. Liza Hollingshead, founder of Ecologia, which is based in the Findhorn community, shares the story…
Kitezh was founded in 1992, just thirty years after our own community. It is their 20th Anniversary this year. Dmitry Morozov was a radio journalist with a vision to create a new world and Perestroika was the perfect time to do it. He left a prestigious job in Moscow and moved to the countryside, sharing his vision and an invitation to join him with his listeners on Radio Mayak.
When I met Dmitry in 1993, he and his small group had built one house on a large piece of land, and they had started to take orphaned, abandoned children into their family. I remember him telling me that it is easier to change a child’s view of the world, than an adult’s. Little did they know what they were committing themselves to! It was not that simple. (more…)
