7-Day Workshop at the Findhorn Community in Scotland

The Findhorn Foundation is a spiritual community, ecovillage and an international centre for holistic education, helping to unfold a new human consciousness and create a positive and sustainable future. The community is an experiment in conscious living, an education centre and an ecovillage. It is a vibrant, creative home to more than 400 people from all over the world. Together, and with the thousands of people who visit each year, we are exploring the challenge and task of creating new ways of living to promote inner listening and self-knowledge, peaceful relationships, cooperation with nature and sustainability on all levels. Based mainly at The Park, Findhorn and at Cluny Hill College in the nearby town of Forres, the community extends to individuals, businesses and organisations within a 50-mile radius of The Park and to the islands of Iona and Erraid on the west coast of Scotland.

Lisa Parker & Annette Kortsen

This workshop is about healing ourselves and the planet through our relationship with nature, with practical information and techniques for working with plants.

We will explore practices from the Findhorn gardens, Perelandra and the Anastasia books, and learn to make food, medicines and skin care products from familiar and common plants.

Plant walks, garden work, food preparation and the hands-on making of tinctures, salves, syrups, lotions, bath salts and infusions are some of the activities we will explore together, mixed in with sessions with guest speakers, discussions, books, handouts, videos and meditations.

You take home your creations plus new skills and information about how to provide healthy care for yourself, your family and your community.
