Following the recent decision of the Findhorn Foundation to sell Cluny Hill, as a way to honour the pragmatic size of the property, I’m sharing the planimetry of all its floors. I am convinced that whatever the fate of Cluny Hill, the sacredness of the place and all the healing work done for more than 60 years, far from being affected, is bound to thrive more than ever.

The maps are set within a rather otherworldly, astrological framework, depicting the so called “Astroshamanic Healing Grid”, one of the humble small-scale healing contributions of astroshamanic work at Cluny Hill, used in many events and workshops from 1999 to 2019.

Holistic and multidimensional awareness is based on the experience that all aspects of life are intimately related and part of the same whole. According to a holistic perspective, there is no separation. We can find our sense of purpose only if we acknowledge the wider reality in which we exist. This reality also includes parallel worlds, whatever lies beyond our ordinary and third dimensional perception, which can decisively boost the awareness of who we truly are.

Since ancient times, the physical territory has been used for healing purposes, promoting holistic awareness and multidimensional links. The Astroshamanic Healing Grid is an educational and strategic structure aimed for this purpose.

The Astroshamanic Healing Grid at Findhorn Foundation Cluny Hill, is a large Medicine Wheel, a network of invisible lines that divide Cluny Hill and its whole territory into a basic matrix of 12 sectors, representing 12 multidimensional realities associated with the zodiac signs. Each sector occupies a portion of 30 degrees and corresponds to an astrological sign.

Each part of the building and territory depicted in the map is associated with a zodiac sign and degree, as well as much more complex astrological features. If you had a special connection with a room or other parts of the building, the maps provide a basic zodiac association, which you can check for inspiration or fun.

The Grid is part of a vast holistic project involving the creation and maintenance of a geomantic healing network encompassing the whole planet through progressive duodecimal subdivisions based on the combinations of the astrological signs. In simpler terms, the aim is to set each geographical area of our planet, large or small, in alignment with such combinations with the purpose of creating healing multidimensional connections. Each Sector of the Grid has very specific associations to the cycle of the year, elements, anatomy, plants, animals, stones, qualities, grievances and any possible correspondence to the outer and inner world.

Please go to my website for further details on each of the 12 sectors at Cluny Hill and other more in depth information.

The boundaries of the Grid were first created underground (lower world), with the burying of small healing stones, then through the blessing of 12 big trees (higher world). It was kept unmarked with no explicit signs until 24 April 2010, during the “Being with the Spirit of Cluny Garden” week I held with Sverre Koxvold, when 12 wood posts indicating the number, glyph and healing seal for each sign were placed. The markers were created by Richard Brockbank and installed by the 12 participants of the workshop. For images of all 12 markers please go to the bottom of this post.

The use of this, or any other, territory as an Astroshamanic Healing Grid allows the horizon to become a holistic healing setting. In this way the area where you live and move becomes a geomantic power field of wisdom and healing. The Grid is a holistic web, linking all features of the landscape together, including land, buildings and whatever or whoever is in the territory.

Through the Grid everything and everyone can become a source of information regarding where we come from, where we are, where you are going, and most of all about who we are. With this work, you can learn to pay attention and be alert to all that happens within and without you. It is an incredible tool for developing a deep holistic awareness. This also involves the work with the shadow side, forgiveness and release of grievances, through specific “compost zones” aimed at allowing emotional and mental waste to serve as fertilizer for luminous manifestations.
