Education in the Findhorn community is experiential and transformative, a journey of self-discovery that changes people's lives and is helping to create a sustainable and peaceful world. Living education is an integral part of the community's work.

Recognising the interdependence of all life is at the heart of education here. Taking time for inner reflection, building relationships with others, and co-creating with nature are essential to the fabric of community life.

This kind of experiential, living, and transformative education becomes increasingly important as humanity comes to terms with global conflict, depletion of the world's resources, changes in our climate, and asks questions about the purpose of our lives and the values we live by. The range of programmes offered at Findhorn address these profound personal and global concerns within the unique context of a thriving spiritual community. We have discovered that the environment in which teaching happens is as important as the teaching itself.

There is the potential for living education to take place 24 hours a day and with every person and situation we meet, as well as within the more traditional settings of workshops, events and conferences. Working in a service department at the Findhorn Foundation gives an opportunity to discover more about yourself, other people, and the environment and to live and work in a new way. Living in the community is to be immersed in a learning environment that will change your life and change the world.

Essential Findhorn programmes have been developed here and are unique to Findhorn, progressively building an inclusive consciousness and giving new skills for life.
