Diverse people and activities continue to be drawn to the Findhorn Foundation Community, and now is the time for these threads to start weaving themselves into a rich new tapestry.
We envision an inspiring community which embraces:
- Awareness of the presence of God in all aspects of our lives;
- Relationships with each other and all people in the suurrounding district that are marked by love, compassion, integrity, justice, tolerence and cooperation;
- Living lightly on the Earth, in tune with natural rhythms and processes;
- Enjoying a simple high-quality lifestyle, rich in human relationships and culture, rather than material goods;
- A economy based on the ideal of right livelihood;
- Diversity of race, ethnicity, colour, religion, abilities, age, gender and sexual orientation;
- Ecological, economic, social, cultural and spiritual sustainability.
Our task is now to bring these ideals into concrete reality. the Council aims to empower the Association to provide functions and services such as:
- Economic development assistance, eg cooperative buying and marketing, a shared office for Association businesses, an advice service for small businesses, and an Association Credit Union;
- Coordinated planning and management of the land next to Findhorn Bay on which many members liev in order to provide better services to the growing community;
- A free conciliation service;
- Family, health, education and other social services;
- Coordination of arts and celebrations;
- Links with the local district, including cooperation in economic development, education, health, social services, the arts and other areas.
