Experiencing the 2012 Gathering

May 31, 2012 by Centers' Gathering Leave a Comment

Since the early days of the community, the Findhorn Foundation has been pioneering a new way of living on the earth and linking up with other centres all over the world to form a network of love and light.

Co-founder Peter Caddy said, “It is very much our work to be a point of synthesis, to link centres together to see where we can unite. Each centre has something different that we can learn from, that they can give to us, and we can give to them.”

In this spirit of synthesis the Findhorn Foundation hosted the annual International Holistic Centres Gathering in May 2012, a meeting of peers from around the world who came together to share ideas, experience, hopes and challenges, to learn from and inspire each other, and support the planetary transformation that is unfolding with increasing momentum.

Carbon Offsetting for Flights

December 14, 2011 by Centers' Gathering Leave a Comment

If you’re planning to attend the Holistic Centre’s Gathering at the Findhorn Foundation in May 2012 and feel concerned about the carbon footprint associated with your flights, we recommend a great way to off-set carbon when you travel.

Carbon Retirement offers the only 100% guarantee in carbon offsetting. Every tonne is guaranteed to reduce European emissions by one tonne. Their unique method forces industrial companies in the developed world to pollute less, preventing emissions before they happen.

To understand how it’s different from other types of carbon offsetting please read this document about Responsible Carbon Neutrality. [Read more…]

Holistic Approach to Sustainability

December 7, 2011 by Centers' Gathering 1 Comment

Excerpt from the Annual Report 2010 / 2011 of The Findhorn Foundation entitled “Pioneering Sustainable Solutions.”

The Findhorn Foundation pioneers a holistic approach to sustainability that integrates four aspects – spiritual, social, environmental and economic. By developing not just the externals of sustainability such as ecohousing, ecological sewage treatment systems and renewable energy, but also addressing the inner life of human beings and giving them an opportunity to experience being part of an interconnected web of life, the Foundation has become a unique centre for learning and a valuable and potent force for change.

Our holistic approach to sustainability is demonstrated in our three main areas of activity:

  • spiritual community
  • eco-village
  • learning centre

Community life provides the spiritual and social framework of sustainability upon which our ecovillage and economic activities are woven. The Foundation financially depends upon sharing our learning with others through our guest programme of workshops and events.
