Welcome to Our Findhorn Barrel, an independent podcast exploring the people and projects of the Ecovillage Findhorn Community. In each episode, we meet individuals, groups, or organisations shaping life in our Community. From eco-builders and gardeners to artists, teachers, healers, and social entrepreneurs.
