About Simon Stedman

I am a .... man, son, brother, father, friend, lover, seeker of wisdom and truth, biker and therapist. I have lived in England, France, Holland, Germany and now Scotland where I have found my home. Professionally, I trained with KPMG in London and have worked for most of my life as a company finance director in a Law firm, Property development and Print industries.  I had the honour of being Hon Treasurer of St James Piccadilly for 5 years. I am a Samaritan listener. Having retired from Accountancy and started retraining as a Psychotherapist, someone mentioned to me the name "Findhorn". Funny name, I thought, so I googled it. The search landed on the page where the Foundation was advertising for a new Head of Finance. The "still small voice" told me that I'd be doing the job, and 6 months later I arrived here.  I made a 2 year commitment to the Foundation, worked for 2.5 years and then returned in Feb 2022 to my psychotherapy studies.  I now work one day per week for the Foundation as the Legacy Programme manager, being the point of contact within the Foundation for anyone who has made a gift in their Will to the Foundation, or anyone who wishes to do so.

Came to the Findhorn Foundation Community: 2019
Areas of involvement with the Findhorn Foundation Community: I arrived in the community as Finance Steward to the Findhorn Foundation and now work one day per week as the Legacy Programme Manager. I held the space fot the online Findhorn Foundation weekly meditation during Covid and have been a Taize singer. I am now am part of the Park Community Centering Prayer group.
Experience in the community affected your work in the world: I have become far more aware of who I am. Currently I am training as a Psychosynthesis counsellor/psychotherapist. I have also been a Samaritan listener.
