Inspired Action - Changing the world from the inside out

Inspired Action aims to raise awareness of the crucial link between inner wisdom and outer action. Living in a world focused on the material, we will explore the power of action inspired from within. This is the path to true service.

Inspired Action is a call to each one of us to examine our responsibility to each other and the planet, a call to both contemplation and engagement, each in our own unique way. In order to create a world of peace for everyone, of sustainability on all levels, we need to embody positive qualities not only in our own hearts and minds, but also in our lives.

The Findhorn Foundation, the educational arm of a larger spiritual community and ecovillage, holds the vision of a peaceful and sustainable world. For 47 years it has worked with inspiration and love to co-create a new way of being on the planet.

The Foundation and community was founded on the principles of being still, listening to the wisdom which is in all of us and acting from this deep place of unity with all parts of life. The transformation of barren sand dunes into a vibrant international community with beautiful gardens attests to the power of these principles.
