Community workshops and courses

Internationally acclaimed Celtic scholar, John Philip Newell, offers a nine-part teaching series on the lineage of Celtic Wisdom for today. It includes teachings, meditative practice and live discussion with John Philip. Online, Tuesdays from 5.30pm-7pm UK time.

Join Ann Amberg on this five-session online immersion – a companion course to her presentation at the recent Healing Our World: From Despair to Repair Autumn Conference.

We'll explore in more depth the 10 foundational ecosocial patterns that guide our everyday actions below the level of our awareness, so that we can come into a conscious partnership with these powerful archetypal energies. Ann has been teaching this work since 2007 (including at the 2014 Findhorn New Story conference). It is based on Dr Brian Thomas Swimme and Thomas Berry's evolutionary work in cosmology and depth ecology.

During the Park Ecovillage Findhorn’s Birthday Week, when this community pauses to mark its own beginnings, we invite you to step into its living record, explore memory, and weave threads that serve those who come after.

Join Mhari Baxter for Authentic Movement practice in the Sunshine Room. This is a held space for inner listening, witnessing, moving, drawing and to be with what is present.

There is another session on 31 October 2026.

Join Deborah Lewin close to midwinter in Scotland, at a time when our bodies need the warmth and joy of movement. Come and delight in the chill and the dark that we will light up with movement, connection, glittering stars, candles and hot tub…

Taking the time to gather close to the winter solstice and the end of the year, we will explore how Open Floor movement practice can support the discovery and integration of what has been and who we are becoming.

Join community focalisers (facilitators) for a five-day experience in the Park ecovillage and in Findhorn village. When there's a longing for a new way of being, this Week invites you to slow down, listen in and remember what's possible. Enjoy a lived experience of being in community, with simple practices and time in nature, exploring what shifts when we move from 'I' to 'We'.

Join Jacquline Buckingham for this Solstice retreat. Step away from the busyness of everyday life and enter the stillness of Winter Solstice at Ecovillage Findhorn. Over 4.5 days, you’ll reflect on the year that has passed, harvest its gifts and lessons, and create a clear vision for the year ahead. Through creative reflection, dreaming, ritual and time in nature, you’ll reconnect with what inspires you and discover what you want to carry forward. The retreat culminates in Findhorn’s beautiful Winter Solstice ritual – a powerful opportunity to release the old and welcome the returning light.

During this magical time of the year you are invited to join Barbara Swetina and Jilani in six days of celebration and relaxation in a community of heart, drawing on the riches of the Findhorn and Sufi traditions in song, dance, story, soul work, creativity and ritual.

Join Lisette Schuitemaker and Gill Emslie for the 8th Eldest Daughter Retreat at Findhorn: Leading with Resilience and Ease

We are calling firstborn women of all ages to gather with others who share this particular life path. Firstborn women note how responsibility weighs on them, and how carefree their younger siblings tend to be. From her research done over a decade ago, in The Eldest Daughter Effect, author and co-host Lisette Schuitemaker describes how being the first child in our family shapes us into serious, caring and capable women.

With “responsibility” as our middle name, we quickly find ourselves in positions of leadership in our family, our circle of friends as well as professionally. We love taking charge, and we are inclined to overdo it. We enjoy making sure everyone is well, and we are apt to forget we need support ourselves. So here are some heartfelt questions to ponder:

Is all that I am capable of doing truly mine to do?

How can I take leadership, be available as well as flourish as a person?

What can I delegate so others come into their own?

In our days together, within the beautiful Ecovillage Findhorn community in Scotland, we will move through a process of taking stock of where we are at, identifying what conditioning, belief or behaviour may be let go of, and firming up how we want to re-enter our personal and professional life.

We will explore and celebrate our strengths, our insecurities and our wisdom. Patterns that we recognise in each other will give rise to laughter and tears, and cement the bond of sisterhood. You will leave the circle with a clearer sense of how you manifest leadership in your personal and professional life, and how you can keep the balance.
