Celebrating 50 Years of Community
SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY, LEARNING CENTRE, ECOVILLAGE
Annual Report 2012/13
FINDHORN FOUNDATION spiritual community • learning centre • ecovillage
The Findhorn Foundation is a spiritual community, an ecovillage, and an international centre for holistic learning dedicated to the unfolding of a new human consciousness. Since its founding in 1962, the Findhorn Community has worked in co-creation with the intelligence of nature to awaken the highest in human potential and meet the spirit of the future - an inclusive worldview that is fundamental for a peaceful and sustainable world. We offer a wide range of programmes, workshops and events, and a variety of ways to participate, with the aim of providing experiences and tools to help people relate to each other and to the world with insight, compassion and cooperation. As we look back on our
history and celebrate our 50th birthday, we are proud of our pioneering role as a demonstration centre for holistic living that continues to evolve and serve the world in new ways. We work in partnership with the United Nations, Global Ecovillage Network, Gaia Education, New Findhorn Association, Moray Council, Highlands and Islands Enterprise/Moray, Third Sector Interface Moray, and countless others, to offer inspiration and showcase practical applications for sustainable change. Our ecological footprint is one of the lowest recorded for a community in the industrialised world, and is just half the UK national average.
FINDHORN FOUNDATION’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE UN DECADE OF EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT The overall goal of the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) 2005-2014 is to integrate the principles, values and practices of sustainable development into all aspects of learning. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) allows every human being to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values necessary to shape a sustainable future. This means including key sustainable development issues in teaching and learning; for example, climate change, disaster risk reduction, biodiversity, poverty reduction and sustainable consumption. It also requires participatory teaching and learning methods that motivate and empower learners to change their behaviour and take action for sustainable development. ESD consequently promotes competencies like critical thinking, imagining future scenarios and making decisions in a collaborative way. ESD programmes at the Findhorn Foundation - Gaia Education Design for Sustainability (EDE renamed, now in its 8th year, in association with Findhorn Foundation College) and Applied Ecovillage Living (the new name for a programme now in its 15th year) have been official contributors to the main learning goals of the UN DESD since its launch in 2005. Our programmes provide a unique learning environment where the social, ecological, economic and worldviews aspects of sustainability meet in an integrated whole. The Findhorn Foundation is an NGO Associated with the Department of Public Information of the United Nations and is regularly represented in UN briefing sessions since August 1998 by Frances Edwards and John Clausen.

Pioneering Sustainable Solutions Our five decades of experience and success has established the Findhorn Foundation as an international demonstration centre for sustainable change and provides a solid basis for continuing to develop new models for living in harmony with all of life. The pioneering work of our founders, Dorothy Maclean and Eileen and Peter Caddy, continues in our core principles and practices, while also evolving to meet the challenges and opportunities of the world today.
Holistic Approach to Sustainability The Findhorn Foundation embodies 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, renewable energy and local food production, but also addressing the inner life of human beings and giving them an opportunity to experience being part of the interconnected web of life, the Foundation has become a unique centre for learning and a potent force for change. Fundamental to sustainability is the building of relationships and the community provides an ideal environment for self-discovery, transformative learning and conscious communication. Practising community values for a month, a week or even a day can often lead to changes that increase self-esteem, give a sense of empowerment and encourage leadership. Community life provides the spiritual and social framework of sustainability upon which our ecovillage and economic activities are woven. Financially dependent upon sharing our learning with others through our programmes, workshops and events, the
thriving atmosphere created within this established spiritual community and ecovillage enables reciprocal learning to take place between residents and guests, who are immersed in how to engage more consciously in daily life. The Findhorn Foundation is a founding member of Global Ecovillage Network, New Findhorn Association, Park Ecovillage Trust, Ekopia Resource Exchange, CIFAL Scotland, and several other initiatives. Currently, the Foundation has 118 members of staff and is part of a growing local community of more than 500 people, and over 40 small businesses and charities primarily working in education, the environment, healing and the arts, who support and practise sustainable values. By encouraging an evolution in consciousness for ourselves as a working community and facilitating this in others, the Foundation continues to play an important and relevant role in the world, in partnership with a widening network of like-minded organisations.
Living Essentials Apprentice Programme
What an amazing journey LEAP has been for me. LEAP, the Living Essentials Apprentice Programme, is the staff intake programme for the Findhorn Foundation. I moved to Cluny Hill in April 2012 after feeling deeply inspired during a week-long Spiritual Practice workshop, my new life direction being to serve in community, deepen inner listening and live from a place of presence and connection. Being part of a LEAP group, meeting regularly, sharing experiences, having a mentor and learning how the community works has been very exciting, transformative and healing. I’ve experienced challenges, growth, vulnerability, empowerment and joy. Being part of LEAP facilitated my process to become more authentic, balanced and ready to serve the world in a new way.

Changing the World from the Inside Out Learning Centre There can be no doubt that humanity is in a time of transition, facing spiritual, social, environmental and economic challenges which at times seem insurmountable. As a centre committed to providing experiences and concrete tools that help people learn to relate to each other and the world in new ways, the Findhorn Foundation is a beacon of hope, encouraging a sense of empowerment and stimulating learning that is transformative for both individuals and for society as a whole. In the period 2012/13, the Foundation welcomed 2366 residential guests, totaling a record number of 4142 guest weeks. When compared with the previous year, this represents an increase of 8% in residential guests and 9.5% in guest weeks, this latter figure an indication that more guests are staying longer than one week. Our Essential Findhorn programmes, focusing on community life and our founding principles, continued to be most popular. Income from our full range of workshops and events totalled £1.54 million, an increase of 4.2% over last year. Participants in our workshops came from 59 countries, 38.9% were from the UK. Once again the results highlight the increasing relevance and effectiveness of the Foundation’s work in a time of increasing financial uncertainty and challenge in the world.
Achieving Our Goals and Vision As a centre for holistic learning embracing an inclusive worldview, we are committed to sharing the principles and practices of this spiritual community and ecovillage with as many people as possible. An awareness that the changes taking place in the world could potentially
lead to fewer people being able to/choosing to travel here, alongside a desire to offer our programmes to those who experience marginalisation in our society, led us to proactively begin in 2009 to look for ways to increase our outreach work. From this impulse was born the Building Bridges initiative, launched in 2010 and Findhorn Live, our web streaming project begun in 2011. Inspired by the early successes of each of these initiatives, we further strengthened our endeavours in these areas over the course of this year and engaged with an increasingly diverse range of people both here and across the world. Participation in the Living in Community Guest (LCG) programme continued to increase, the average number of guests per week up by 2.3% over last year. 114 people from 24 countries joined LCG in 2012, creating an income 12.7% higher than the previous year. People aged 30 or younger accounted for 20% of the total number of guests on this programme. Since its introduction in 2011, the Living Essentials Apprentice Programme (LEAP) has proven to be a success as a staff intake stream, particularly in terms of meeting its objective of attracting a younger generation. During the two-year period, 123 people have gone through the initial stages of the programme and 50 through the first six months of Long-Term LEAP. Out of those who stayed longer, 12 have become staff and eight are employees. The shortage of suitable accommodation for LEAPs continued to be a challenge this year.

Building Bridges Our Building Bridges initiative broadens the spectrum of people engaging with the Findhorn Foundation through the development of new programmes and partnerships. In the 2012/13 year, Building Bridges ran three highly successful events for business and NGO professionals. The fourth and fifth Findhorn International Forum on Sustainability events once again proved to be powerful and transformative for participants. We also hosted a bespoke event for a group who needed an inspiring venue to plan and develop a new business venture. In August five people with learning disabilities and their assistants participated in the second successful Co-Ability Week. This programme is designed to bring diverse abilities together in our community and gives participants access to some of the best elements the Foundation has to offer. Piloted in 2011 and developed in partnership with Action for Children and The Moray Council, the Youth Empowerment Programme is a three-month skills development course for local disadvantaged young people. This year we ran two successful courses, the young people who participated gaining in selfconfidence, gardening and life skills, and learning about healthy relationships. Also a pilot, Recovery & Discovery was created 2012 to help people in the process of recovering from drug or alcohol addiction. A group of six participated on a three-month programme with funding now being sought to run more events in 2014. Building Bridges is a growing area for the Foundation 5
with income in 2012/2013 of £66,200 compared with £45,500 in the period 2011/2012.
work together and increase networking opportunities for the benefit of the Foundation.
Welcoming More People
We appreciate too our many friends and supporters around the globe, who further extend the network of light. The Foundation’s Resource People (RPs) currently number 179 people in 33 countries. All of them have lived here or visited several times, know the Foundation and community well, and share the inspiration they found here in their own activities and local areas. The RP Gathering in June provided an opportunity for RPs to reconnect with the Foundation, strengthen the network and share friendship, ideas and support.
Responding to the growing demand for our programmes, workshops and events, and the requests from groups and organisations working with people with diverse needs who want to come and participate in our programmes, the Foundation took steps this year to address the need for more guest accommodation. Early in the year, we launched our Spirit of the Future campaign to raise the £271,000 needed to build two new seven-bed, fully accessible and highly energyefficient guest lodges. We aim to have at least one guest lodge completed during 2013. To create more guest accommodation in the shortterm, we experimented with a new type of ecoconstruction. Recycled materials and a heat-exchanging ventilation system were used to transform a poorlyinsulated, factory-built portable dwelling into an attractive energy-efficient building. The Bunkhouse provides eight new beds, allowing us to accommodate up to 400 additional guests each year.
Global Community The Foundation enjoys a dynamic relationship with over a hundred individuals who we honour and appreciate for their transformative work in the world. Each one of these Findhorn Fellows has a strong connection with our community and their support in advancing the Foundation’s work and raising its profile globally is invaluable. Feedback received from the over 30 Fellows who attended a Fellows Gathering in November showed that many of them are keen to
In May we hosted the annual International Holistic Centres Gathering, bringing together 37 individuals representing 27 different centres in 16 countries. For the first time in the 30-year history of the Gathering, peers came from all five inhabited continents, making it truly diverse and richly engaging. We reviewed the Community Exchange (CE) programme and identified its purpose as being: enhance the wellbeing and learning of Foundation staff and strengthen the network of light by creating networking opportunities. Currently we have agreements with 12 communities, the aim of CE to balance the exchange with each one.
Partnerships for a Positive Future Findhorn Ecovillage In receipt of a Best Practice designation from the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (Habitat) in 1998, the Findhorn Ecovillage is a constantly evolving model used as a teaching resource by a number of university and school groups as well as by professional organisations and municipalities worldwide. As an ecovillage the Foundation offers a built environment to inspire and demonstrate what can be achieved in harmony with nature. In this setting ecovillage programmes, trainings and tours are offered, often in partnership with other organisations: Findhorn College, Park Ecovillage Trust, and CIFAL Scotland (part of the Local Development Programme of the United Nations Institute of Training and Research (UNITAR), delivering training in various aspects of sustainability).
Leaders in Sustainability May East, from CIFAL Scotland, received for the second time international recognition through her nomination as one of 100 global sustainability leaders in 2012. May’s commitment to making CIFAL Scotland a hub for capacity building, leadership and knowledge sharing between local authorities, national governments, international organisations, the private sector and civil society has inspired thousands and was recognised in this nomination. In the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, 2005-2014, CIFAL Scotland was one of the first UNITAR affiliated centres to take the sustainability agenda to heart. Since 2006 it has been excelling in putting together cutting edge seminars, conferences and training sessions to
address the urgent implications of climate change and promote innovative solutions in the fields of low carbon economy transition, renewable energy systems, sustainable urban services and green jobs.
Transition to Resilience (T2R) Two years in the making, T2R is a new, five-module supported learning journey for change makers spread over 18 months. This programme was conceived by an EU-funded Learning Partnership of eight organisations, including the Global Ecovillage Network, Transition Town and Permaculture Networks, Centre for Human Emergence and the Findhorn Foundation, as a synthesis of the best in existing sustainability trainings currently available. Participants will work on grounding change in projects in their communities, regions and workplaces, receiving ongoing support from the facilitators and their peers over the course of the programme.
Working as an NGO The Foundation participates in United Nations activities as a Non-Governmental Organisation and is a founding member of the NGO Committee on the Environment, a group comprising approximately 20 NGOs interested in furthering and strengthening an environmental perspective in all areas of the UN agenda and public policy. Frances Edwards and John Clausen are our representatives at the UN Headquarters in New York. Both are on the Spiritual Caucus Coordinating Council, of which Frances is co-convenor. She is also on the Values Caucus Council. While serving on these councils, Frances and John organise meditations, 6
workshops, talks and various meetings and events at the UN Headquarters. In June of this year, represented by Ana Rhodes Castro, we actively participated in the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development Rio+20.
Ecovillage Development As part of the implementation of our carbon neutral strategy, in 2010 the Foundation installed a biomass heating system capable of heating most of the buildings within the central area of The Park. A reduction in our carbon footprint by 80 tonnes per year and a cost savings in the first year of operation exceeding what the feasibility study predicted gave us many reasons to celebrate. What a shock then in the autumn of 2012 to experience a fire in the biomass system, caused by faulty installation. Swift action was taken to deal with this fire and modifications made so that guests and staff continued to have heated accommodation while insurance companies were contacted and a replacement was arranged. The physical expansion of the Findhorn Ecovillage continued this year with the first phase of the new Duneland project, East Whins nearing completion and the land cleared to make way for future development of the second phase, West Whins. Construction of Soillse, the multi-generational communal housing cluster was completed. Bringing permaculture values into the built environment, this housing project is the first carbon neutral development in Scotland, with a passive solar design and no fossil fuels used in any of the houses. As the community approached its 50th birthday in November, a series of history evenings made clear how 7
much has physically changed since the arrival of our founders in 1962. What was once a bleak caravan park has grown and been transformed into a small village where beauty is to be found wherever one looks. The Business World meets Findhorn Findhorn International Forum on Sustainability (FIFS) began in 2010. Paul Dickinson, co-creator of the Carbon Disclosure Project and now a Findhorn Foundation Trustee, had seen that the Foundation and community is a research and development centre for the future of the world and that we should share our tools and learnings. A radical programme with no agenda other than what the participants bring with them, FIFS provides the space to explore personal sustainability and share entrepreneurial ideas. It’s a time to step back, detach from technology and touch in with intuition, meaning and purpose. Participants return again and again - ”One visit to Findhorn is never enough. It calls you back with irresistible promises of serene space to think more clearly: of collective, collaborative creativity and idea generation; of love, laughter and fresh Scottish air. Findhorn’s an experiment in non-financial wealth and reminds us that we are already rich beyond our wildest dreams.” Previous FIFS participant Yvonne Cuneo (Building Bridges Team)
Spirit of the Future Acknowledging our rich and ground-breaking past, we celebrated our 50th birthday year inspired by the theme, Spirit of the Future. We looked back with pride, and also looked towards the future with a strong sense of the emerging consciousness that continues to unfold in the form of new projects, ideas and services in this journey of personal and global transformation.
workshops and events being done online, our website is a crucial aspect of our marketing campaign. Knowing from analysis that more people come to www. findhorn.org directly from www.facebook.com than any other site, we were delighted to see that our Facebook community this year increased by 50% to 18,722, a significant achievement over last year’s 30% jump.
Media Matters
In support of our sustainability, we created a series of bookmarks that encourage people to leave us a legacy. It is a subtle approach, but one that is part of an awareness raising programme aimed at encouraging people to consider the Foundation in their will.
Throughout the year, the strong visual identity created in celebration of our 50th birthday was prominent on our website and was also used in Findhorn Foundation publications produced during the year. National and international media interest in the Foundation was especially keen this year, with features in a number of print and online publications. Our website features a full listing of our programmes, workshops and events, online booking and donations, and also includes daily inspirational readings, news about community life and an invitation to sign up for our e-news. Over this year there were 809,848 visits to the site (approximately15,500 per week) from people in 205 countries/territories. The vast majority of people who book our workshops and conferences do so through hearing about us by word of mouth, reflecting our extremely high participant satisfaction levels. Feedback forms indicate 97% would recommend the programme to a friend or colleague and 96% would like to return for another programme. With well over 90% of bookings for Foundation
Total income received from sales of the Memories and Miracles USB memory stick, launched to celebrate 50 years of the Findhorn Foundation, was ÂŁ1,390.19.
Creating a New World Together Following the success of our experimental online streaming of the Patch Adams and Caroline Myss events in 2011, we were delighted to receive ÂŁ19,500 in funding to further develop our web streaming project Findhorn Live. The grant money received from Awards for All and Moray LEADER enabled us to purchase professional camera, sound and mixing equipment, create a portable web streaming kit and finance operator training.
thus enabling more people to benefit from the many programmes and events we offer. We are also able to stream events from other community and business centres in Moray, thus creating new links with organisations in the local area. The first event in 2012 to fully launch Findhorn Live was the Caroline Myss Master Class in October, watched by over 100 people from more than 20 countries. In November, people from around the world were able to join us for our 50th Birthday Week celebrations and in December we joined in with the global event Birth2012, receiving praise for the professionalism we showed in organising our segment and linking in with the event. We are confident that this has set us on a firm path to further develop this new way of sharing our inspiration with an ever-expanding global family and we intend to offer many more workshops and events via web streaming in the future.
Providing live access to our conferences and events, Findhorn Live has huge potential both for enhancing the global impact of our work and generating income. This medium creates a multitude of opportunities to connect with a wider audience and reach out to those people who are unable to join us in person, 8

Dear Friends, Current crises, be they natural, political, economic or a toxic combination of all three, make apparent what we have long known: that we are one inter-connected humanity living on a planet with finite resources. What happens on one side of the world impacts all of us. They also make it clear that we cannot thrive without acknowledging that forces greater than ourselves are at work and that these need to be honoured in our human decision-making and practices. Our biggest challenge is to work together towards positive solutions that benefit the whole and support the planet. This awareness has formed the cornerstone of the amazing Findhorn experiment that has now run for over 50 years. Much has been learned and applied on a daily
99
basis by those in the community. This ecovillage model continues to attract people from all over the globe who then take the essence of this approach back into their own lives, families, workplaces and communities. I continue to be impressed by the consciousness, willingness and good intention with which the Foundation’s members approach whatever challenges come their way. May we continue to be a place of personal and planetary transformation, playing our part in the unfolding of consciousness and potential. Robin Alfred, Chair of Trustees

Finance The Foundation continued its trend of making a small surplus. This year it was £86,000, resulting from course and event income of £1,543,000 (a 4% increase of £64,000 largely due to special events), direct expenditure of £1,942,000 (a 3% increase of £64,000 which was largely due to increases in programme, staffing, fuel and building maintenance costs), and an income from donations and grants of £346,000 (a 23% increase of £79,000 largely due to tremendous fundraising efforts throughout this birthday year). This demonstrates that our operating budget model of maintaining relatively high co-worker numbers to create an optimal lifestyle environment for our guests is sustainable from both human and economic perspectives. It is complemented by grants and generous donations, which assist our capital and projects budgets. Net assets increased by £164,000 to £4,965,000, largely due to cash/ debtors and an increase in the value of fixed assets. New Findhorn Directions Limited is the Foundation’s wholly owned trading subsidiary. The company had a turnover of £631,000 (an increase of 14% on the previous year) and a profit of £48,000. Cost of sales and administration was £572,000. The company’s net asset value increased by 13% to £424,000. Income for year to 31 January 2013
