Community workshops and courses

Join community focalisers (facilitators) for a seven-day experience rooted in the spiritual soil of the Park Ecovillage. The Findhorn Garden is both a place and a practice, a decades-long experiment in cooperation with nature. Through time in the gardens, shared reflection and simple community rhythms, explore what it means to listen to the land, to one another and to the wisdom within.

Findhorn Hinterland Trust’s Alan Watson Featherstone will lead a walk with a broad focus on biodiversity, sharing insights into the ecosystems and natural processes that shape this landscape.

Join Bridget O’Donnell on this weekend workshop on Navigating Conflict.

Restorative Circles is a combination of Restorative Justice & Nonviolent Communication. Whenever humans gather, Conflict is inevitable, so communities can benefit from having a conflict system in place. This training will support you to bring a conflict system to your community.

Join Barbara Swetina and Joachim Goerke for a seven-day musical retreat that blends piano concerts, community singing, improvisation, sacred dance and shared stillness to cultivate connection, healing and joy.

Open to all, no prior musical experience required, the week offers deep nourishment through the power of song and stillness amidst a growing international singing family.

Join Deborah Lewin for this Vital Moves experience.

We are living in times of “unprecedented” change. The need to adapt in a resourced way is an essential life skill.

The challenges of life can easily weigh us down – both the small challenges of everyday life and the large challenges facing our planet. With so much feeling out of our control, it is important for us to come together and find pathways of empowered action that help to alleviate the sense of helplessness. We will dance as we learn how to embrace the changes in our lives.

Invited by Peter Caddy in 1976 to bring Sacred Dance to the community, Bernhard Wosien experienced the practice of  ‘Attunement’ a ritualised way of forming a circle, holding hands and ‘tuning in’.  This touched his heart and inspired him to develop an approach to dance that he first called ‘Stepping into Silence’ (Schreiten in die Stille).

From this beginning, Sacred Dance at Findhorn has grown and moved out into countries all over the world. On this 50th anniversary celebration, we invite you to join us as we celebrate our Sacred Dance practice from its beginnings to its path in the future.

Join the Findhorn Hinterland Trust for a fun, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn to use a range of woodworking tools while collaborating to create a one-of-a-kind wooden bench.

This is not about precision carpentry, but about creativity and problem-solving – working with raw, characterful planks that rarely follow straight lines or perfect angles, and shaping them into something both functional and beautiful. The process is as much about exploration as it is about making.

Led by Steve, an experienced and enthusiastic woodworker, this is a rewarding opportunity to learn practical skills, work as a team, and create something lasting. All protective equipment will be provided.
