Thank you, all of you, from the bottom of my heart, for helping me to heal in this spectacular, miraculous and wonder-filled fashion. The workshop has provided me with a treasure-house of precious moments to remember for ever. Thank you especially Barbara, for giving me better songs to sing, and surrounding us all with the love in your music. I believe this experience unlocked my heart and freed me from the prison of my grief - allowing me to dare to feel love for another again. I am sure I am not the only person you have helped to healing in this way, and I think that what you do is awe-inspiring.

How can I also find the right words to convey how special my week at Findhorn was? It was just such a delight to be given the permission to have FUN and play; everything is too serious and I forget how easy it is to be happy.

Jacqueline, previous programme participant

I will treasure all the events as well as how the New Years Eve programme lead me from one year - so beautifully into the new and untouched - for me to bring on the good feelings from Findhorn, as well as from all of us participants.
