Kitchens, Gardens, Homecare and Maintenance
departments at Cluny and The Park

Living Education takes place in all activities at Findhorn, and especially in work situations. The departments of the Findhorn Foundation are staffed by people whose working lives are integrated with their spiritual journey and who see their work as spiritual principles put into practical action. Guests in many of our programmes and workshops, including Experience Week, spend time in service departments working with our staff and with the opportunity to experience work, and themselves, in a new way.

We call ourselves a working community and all tasks, from cooking the lunch, planting seeds, guiding guests or cleaning the floor, are essential parts of the whole. In our work we interact with each other, with the tools we use, with the landscape and with our innermost selves in a conscious and attuned way, practising the awareness that our small actions are part of the larger ecology of humanity and the planet.

When you work in Cluny Kitchen, Park Garden, Cluny Homecare or any of our other service departments, you are encouraged to explore the idea that work is love in action.
