The Community Website for The Park Ecovillage, Findhorn
Welcome to Our Community
From its humble beginnings in 1962, with our founders Eileen and Peter Caddy and Dorothy MacLean, our community has grown from a small group of people, through being a Foundation and into an ecovillage, a thriving local network and a global community. Here at the Park Ecovillage and beyond, we seek to live according to our three founding principles – inner listening, co-creation with the intelligences of nature and work as love in action. The purpose of the New Findhorn Association is to be a diversity of people showing by example a way of living in the world in alignment with Spirit, in co-operation with each other, and in service to the Earth, an experiment in conscious living.
We welcome you to our community and invite you to explore all that is on offer, both on-site and beyond!
