The Community Website for The Park Ecovillage, Findhorn
Welcome Group
We meet each week and are open to anyone who feels this may be interesting or helpful. We welcome all, new arrivals are especially welcome.
- We attune at the start of each gathering.
- Long-term Community members come to talk to us, about their life here and about their areas of expertise. They have included Adam Powel, Cornelia Featherstone, Lesley Downy, Dave Till, Dürten Lau, Katharina Brocke, Jörn, Amanda Haworth, Manda Stretch, and Sue Dominey.
- The eight petals model used by the NFA is displayed on the table in our meeting space.
- We help each other by sharing our knowledge of what’s here, and of how things work and bits of local knowledge useful for people who have recently arrived.
- Rounds of sharing are central to our practice, about the highs and lows of our weeks, or whatever theme comes up. There is freedom to say anything politely and be heard.
- We work as a team to help do jobs around the Park, such as cleaning the Visitor Centre ready for opening, painting the Pottery in Pine Ridge, renovating the old art studio, and making the Flower Essence chalet ready for refugees.
- We have created signs for use at the Phoenix cafe as part of a project to encourage connection and alleviate loneliness – they are available for anyone to pick up and put on their table if they’d like to share some space with others. The signs say ‘Welcome, please join us’ and ‘Welcome at this table’.
Watch the signs at the Visitor Centre and at the Phoenix Shop for more information about future activities.
