How we govern ourselves, decision making and organisational structures.
The Story of FF3 (Findhorn Foundation SCIO)
I am a new seedling growing from two older ancestors, two great trees who have fallen.

I am Hinterland Trust, a land spirit rooted in community. Not built, but grown through care, through many hands working together with purpose.
We are making our contribution the the bioregional efforts by bringing 4 acres in Cullerne Gardens back into production, producing seasonal, healthy vegetables, straight from the soil and full of life for our box scheme subscribers. Farm freshness directly to the table.
The Park, Ecovillage Findhorn is open. Alive. Listening. Transforming. The next chapter of this Village of Light is being co-created!
In 1988 the personnel department asked me to take over as focaliser. It was a bit absurd, I was a teacher by trade and a novice in gardening, but as a dutiful student of the Foundation, I said "yes" to service.
Once a year the members of the Findhorn Foundation get together for a time, usually a week, of sharing with each other and conducting a general stocktaking exercise that puts the past year; current issues and plans for the coming year into perspective.
This amazing time-traveller's view is Dick Barton's way of describing in 1982 his 5 year vision for the Cullerne Garden School.
Now that I have accepted the role of focaliser at Cullerne for the next wee while, I must begin to look for the creative purpose of its being. Mine is a process of attunement to the earth, of quiet meditations in our rock garden, of listening and looking.
During the Community Gathering 2025, Tim Slack and myself led a session of Appreciative Inquiry looking at the SOAR (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, Resources/Results). This post describes the session and invites your participation.
From 1977 the Findhorn Foundation (FF) held 'Orientation Programmes' to introduce new members to the Mystery School, our community culture and the organisational structures of the charity.
