Announcement: Appointment of Trustees to the Findhorn Foundation SCIO

Beloved Community,

We are delighted to announce the appointment of new trustees to Findhorn Foundation SCIO. With gratitude and hope we ask you to welcome: Angus Marland, Liza Hollingshead, Marilyn Hamilton, Sara Trevelyan (and later in November Judy McAllister). (The existing Trustees will step down after a brief transition period).

This appointment follows months of listening, discernment, and due diligence. The new Trustees have accepted responsibility for carrying the SCIO forward into its next chapter, in service to the community and its global family.

The purposes of FF SCIO remain rooted in the vision of Findhorn:

●        to demonstrate the spiritual nature of life,

●        to advance spiritual and holistic education,

●        to protect and honour the natural environment.

In these early days, the new Trustees (reflecting shared values) are exploring deeply:

●        how and whether FF SCIO may be a viable vehicle to serve the educational impulse

●        with guiding Angels of Commitment, Release and Clarity, collaborating with other successor charities, the Education Circle and wider community,

●        reviewing the SCIO’s assets, finances, and governance structures,

●        and reaching out to build trusting and supportive relationships across our local, regional, and global networks.

As Sara Trevelyan expressed, this is a time of both tenderness and possibility. We acknowledge the doubts, tensions, and hopes that surround this transition, and we invite the whole community (local and global) to hold us in a field of trust. Behind and beyond differences, there is a shared yearning for love, connection, and the thriving of this community we call home.

The Trustees’ commitment is to steward the SCIO with integrity, to listen deeply, and to explore and amplify the educational impulse in service to the highest good of all.

With warmth and respect,
