Essence of the Arts is an 8-week course offering the opportunity to experience a creative journey while being part of the Findhorn Foundation community. We follow our creative impulses through song and dance, music making, storytelling, mixed media, clay work, writing and drama - empowering ourselves to explore and express our deepest creative self.

The group is a boat to carry us across a sea of creativity. We create a safe supportive place where individuals work together yet retain the freedom to explore their own path. This is a module based course with a break between the first and second month. You can choose to do either the first month or both months. If you decide to participate in the second month, there is the possibility to visit Erraid or Iona during the break, or to stay on in the community.
