January 2026 Trustees Update: Many Gateways, One Garden

As we step into 2026 we, the Trustees of the Findhorn Foundation SCIO, want to share a warm, energising update on our activities.

From left to right we are: Marilyn Hamilton, Liza Hollingshead, Judy McAllister, Sara Trevelyan and Angus Marland.

Recent meetings have been grounded, practical, and quietly hopeful — as we continue to make progress through due diligence explorations and business plan drafting while staying true to Findhorn’s soul DNA of listening, learning, and co-creation.

Our shared focus is clear: how to re-establish a vibrant educational presence in the Ecovillage Findhorn, in partnership with the local and global Findhorn ecosystem. We are reviewing designs for signature 5- and 7-day programmes that can be piloted from Spring to Fall 2026. At the same time, we are identifying the logistics and partnerships needed to support offerings from independent facilitators. Likewise, we are looking at sustainable ways to steward our free global offerings of online morning meditations, Social Media and email inspirations, so they can continue to serve people around the world.

Alongside this, Trustees are giving careful attention to long-term structures — clarifying governance as a potential Tier 2 SCIO, and our recommendations for membership, subscriptions and financing. As some of you know, we are also considering the Park Building at Ecovillage Findhorn as a potential future home for education.

With gratitude for the many hands, hearts, and minds involved, we move forward in the spirit of many gateways, one garden — trusting that by tending what is local with care, we enable what is global to flourish.

With Love and Gratitude,

Marilyn Hamilton for the Findhorn Foundation SCIO Trustees 🌍✨
