The mission of the not-for-profit online community Divination Foundation (DF) is to explore, develop and promote spiritual technologies, to demonstrate the use of spiritual tools that help people be in harmony with their higher selves and, in a very practical sense, make the right moves at the right time, for the benefit of both the individual and the collective.

News about the 2012 Gathering

March 7, 2012 by Centers' Gathering Leave a Comment

It’s now only two months until the International Holistic Centres Gathering – The Network of Light – an occasion when many different centres, often from different cultures, speak openly, honestly and warmly of their experiences, lessons, hopes and concerns. In this way, we deepen our sense of the worldwide movement towards holistic, spiritual and ecological awakening, and find inspiration and community in the often hard won wisdom of others.

Invitations have been sent far and wide and we now have participants coming from communities and holistic centres in the USA, (including Hawaii, California, Oregon, Washington and New York), Canada, Spain, Greece, Denmark, Poland, Russia and India. They represent a diverse range of spiritual traditions, business models and environments, one a remote retreat centre, another completely off the grid, and a third located in one of the busiest cities in the world!

The 2012 Gathering and Two Day Group Transformation Game

February 27, 2012 by Centers' Gathering Leave a Comment

The Holistic Centres Gathering is traditionally five days of discussion, presentations, sharing and learning, as well as an experience of the host community. The Findhorn Foundation, who are hosting the 2012 Gathering, traditionally offer seven day programmes, hence this year there are two options.

The five night option commences on Saturday 12 May and concludes on Thursday 17 May. The seven night option concludes on Saturday 19 May and includes an interactive group version of the Transformation Game, played in teams around a path on the floor.

The Group Game provides a unique opportunity for personal learning and group experience as well as time to integrate the experience of the Gathering. It will enable you to focus on areas that interest you both individually and collectively, to work creatively together to bring insight and resolution to them and explore ways of moving forward together, supporting each other with our work around the world in our respective centers and communities.

The Network of Light – Then and Now

February 22, 2012 by Centers' Gathering Leave a Comment

“Scattered around the Earth are untold thousands of individuals, small groups and communities quietly creating a society based upon the unity of the human family and co-creation with the forces of nature. Part of our work at Findhorn is to link with a wide range of these centres, organisations and individuals to reveal an emerging pattern that we call the ‘network of light’.”

Reading these words recently in the Faces of Findhorn, published in 1980, I had a strong feeling this was the voice of my friend Ralph White, who I’d met two years earlier at the Holistic Centres Gathering in Hawaii. I sent him an email and he wrote straight back saying, “Yes, I recognize those words. They’re what I felt all those years ago and they’ve actually been proved true. It’s a wonderful thing!” [Read more…]
