Personal stories tell the individual journey through membership in the Findhorn Foundation Community and beyond.

The questions we would like you to cover are:

  • How were/are you involved in the Community – all areas of your life (work, spiritual practice, play, relationships etc)
  • What were the milestones of your time in the Community?
  • If you have left, how has living in the Community impacted your life and your work in the world.
  • If you are still living in the Findhorn Community how does that impact your life and your work in the world?
