Join Deborah Lewin for an Open Floor Movement workshop in the Universal Hall – easing and loosening the fixed shapes of our story about ‘The Past’, ‘The Present’, ‘The Future’.
Our own past, our own present, our own future, are these set in stone? How would it be to soften that which we think we know about them?

Be it in the body, in the emotions, in the mind, or at the soul level, might we consciously loosen those places where we find fixed beliefs. Inviting the ease and fluidity of more spacious possibilities?

Join Diana Whitmore and Kim Shiller to deepen into your soul’s journey within a community context. Findhorn is a demonstration centre of bringing spirit into matter and this programme shares how spirit is coming into the ‘matter’ of our lives, so that our lives increasingly become a reflection and living embodiment of our soul.

The programme explores the seven archetypal ways or paths to Self- realisation, to recognise our transpersonal nature and ‘The power of deep motivation that indicates the essential nature or “keynote” of the individual.’ (Assagioli 1983, founder of Psychosynthesis).

‘The Ways’ combines psychology and spirituality as a map or guide towards becoming who we most deeply are. A ‘Way’ can account for what is unique and what is universal in all of us.

This experiential programme will take us on a journey through the Seven Ways. The expected outcomes include each participant recognising their ‘keynote’ and discovering new ways to express this in their lives and realising a deeper sense of purpose. Embark on a journey through the Seven Ways and discover your deepest essence.

The Transformation Game is a spiritually based tool that catalyses change in the format of a board game. It provides a playful yet substantial way of understanding and gracefully transforming the way you play your life.

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.
