The following impressive list of Conferences at Findhorn in the Living Record initially only covered the years 1972-2005. Some amendments have been made to cover the time up to 2019. It lists over 120 conferences and major events, the majority of which were organised by the Findhorn Foundation, and held in the Universal Hall.
Our collective autobiography will endeavour to continue to update the information.
Please get in touch with details, photos etc
And of course we’d love to hear your stories
about any of the conferences
We look forward to hearing from you!
———————–
The Foundation has also held many seasonal festivals and other special events. These are not listed here, with the exception of the annual conference-scale Spring Festival Of The Arts, 1983-5. Two early one-day Findhorn events in London, both billed as conferences, are also included (the first and third items below).
A note on locations : Early conferences from 1972-74 were centred around the Community Centre and the lecture room of the Park Building. The first conference to utilise Universal Hall as a venue was World Crisis And The Wholeness Of Life in October 1976.
For several conferences a marquee was situated on the village green, including the Spring Festivals Of The Arts 1983-5 and the 3rd World Wilderness Congress, 1983. Conferences held specifically at Cluny are indicated below.

The Living Record is a compilation based on publications, correspondence, archival material and input from many individuals. Every measure has been taken to ensure accuracy.
This is a most useful, indeed an indispensable record. It does, however, hang in the air in that what was, early on, highly marginal, has now become mainstream thinking, and in a variety ways has been activated in our crisis-crushed world. Where does the FF now go? Is there a vision and a task beyond repetition and self-celebration?
Dear Richard, our website is the start of our collective autobiography – it tells you in many personal perspectives our legacy of the last 60 years and how the Community’s endeavours to navigate this changing world today. Change is our only constant, and uncertainty as to a way forward is at times daunting. As David Spangler said in his reflections in an event honouring our founders during 60th Birthday in November 2022: You are the founders of the next 60 years. Connecting with our roots will hopefully enable us to move forward into an unknown future and allows us to find ways to continue to serve. We hope you enjoy exploring our stories. With love and blessings Cornelia (Cornelia Featherstone, member of the COIF Coreteam)
