About John Brierley

Born in Ireland, worked as chartered surveyor from 1971. A career break during an existential crisis brought the family to Findhorn. The spiritual journey shaped an abiding passion for pilgrimage.

Came to the Findhorn Foundation Community: 1987
Left the Findhorn Foundation Community: 2001
Areas of involvement with the Findhorn Foundation Community: raised a family, supported Community businesses
Community leadership: Focaliser of the 1996 Business for Life conference
Experience in the community affected your work in the world: The idea of Business Sabbaticals as an antidote to burn out, and pilgrimage as a way to reappraise life's purpose became an abiding passion and led to a series of guidebooks to the Camino de Santiago.
List of publications: Guidebooks to the Camino de Santiago, first one published in 2003
