The Findhorn Garden

The Findhorn Garden

Learning with the land through listening, care and co-creation.
Grounded in the spiritual community of the Park Ecovillage, Findhorn

The Findhorn Garden is both a place and a practice. For decades it has been a living experiment in cooperation with nature, where human intention, natural intelligence, and openness to the invisible realms of life meet, to shape what becomes possible.

The Findhorn Garden is for people who feel curious about that living story and how we all have the ability to co-create with life. Through time in the gardens, shared practice, reflection, and gentle enquiry, explore what it means to listen to the land, to one another and to the wisdom within.

The garden becomes a teacher, revealing patterns of interdependence, resilience, and right relationship. Practical engagement is part of the learning. Explore how inner attitudes shape outer form, and how tending the soil, plants and community can become a way of remembering our place within a larger living whole.

What The Findhorn Garden offers

As the week unfolds, you are invited into the rhythms of community life. Through shared meals, reflective practices, group activities, nature connection, moments of silence and time together, we explore:

• Inner listening as a way of orienting to life
• Relational awareness with human and non human form
• Love in action as a way of engaging with practical tasks
• Co-creation as an active partnership with infinite possibilities

The Findhorn Garden is a living classroom where much of the learning happens in ordinary moments: sitting quietly, being with nature, listening to one another, and noticing how this reveals pathways of care, cooperation and regeneration.

The Park Ecovillage, Findhorn

The Findhorn Garden is rooted in the spiritual soil of the Park Ecovillage at Findhorn, a place with a long history of exploring the inner dimensions of life, conscious relationship and regenerative ways of living.

The Park offers a unique combination of natural beauty and simplicity. Surrounded by dunes, forest paths, the beach and bay, and the wide skies of the Moray Firth, it provides a supportive environment to slow down, reconnect and listen more closely – both inwardly and outwardly.

Accommodation

You will stay in simple, comfortable accommodation within or close to the Park Ecovillage. Rooms are shared, supporting the sense of togetherness and community life that is central to the experience.

Meals

Meals are an integral part of the journey.

We share nourishing, vegetarian meals prepared with care, using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients where possible. Eating together is treated as a practice in itself: a moment to arrive, connect and experience community through sharing a meal.

Most dietary requirements can be accommodated; please let us know in advance.

Who this week is for

People join The Findhorn Garden for many different reasons:

• To reconnect with themselves
• To experience community life
• To immerse themselves in nature
• To slow down and listen to the land
• To explore new ways of connection, co-operation and care
• Or feel a sense of belonging within a larger living system.

No prior experience with gardening, community living or spiritual practice is required. What matters most is a willingness to participate, reflect and stay curious.

What you take home

The experience you take home will be uniquely your own.

It emerges through engaged participation, reflection, curiosity and lived experience. Many people leave with a renewed sense of connection, subtle shifts in how they listen and relate, and a deeper trust in their own inner guidance – qualities that continue to unfold long after returning home.

The Findhorn Garden is an invitation to slow down, listen and explore what it means to live in harmony with the world around us.

Grounded in the living ecology of the Park Ecovillage Findhorn, The Findhorn Garden invites an embodied way of being, where tending the earth becomes a practice of responsibility, reverence, and renewal.
