Experience Week: From I to We
A foundational journey into inner listening, community living and relational awarenessGrounded in the spiritual community of the Park Ecovillage, Findhorn
There are moments in life when we sense that something in us wants to change. Often this comes with a quiet longing for a new way of being – learning how to listen more deeply and live more relationally.
Findhorn Experience Week: From I to We is for people who feel curious about inner listening, community life and conscious relationship, with themselves, with others and with all dimensions of life, in the everyday.
Rather than offering a set of techniques or answers, you are invited into a lived experience. An experience of slowing down, noticing and exploring what happens when awareness moves from the individual ‘I’ into the relational ‘We’.
What Findhorn Experience Week offers
As the week unfolds, you are invited into the rhythms of community life. Through shared meals, reflective practices, group activities, nature connection, moments of silence and time together, we explore:
Inner listening as a way of orienting to life
Relational awareness in everyday interactions
What it means to live, even briefly, in a shared field of care and presence
How ‘We’ emerges naturally when attention softens and deepens.
Much of the learning happens in ordinary moments: walking together, listening to one another, sitting quietly and noticing what moves inside when we are in shared space.
The Park Ecovillage, Findhorn
Findhorn Experience Week is rooted in the spiritual soil of the Park Ecovillage at Findhorn, a place with a long history of exploring the inner dimensions of life, conscious relationship and regenerative ways of living.
The Park offers a unique combination of natural beauty and simplicity. Surrounded by dunes, forest paths, the beach and bay, and the wide skies of the Moray Firth, it provides a supportive environment to slow down, reconnect and listen more closely – both inwardly and outwardly.
Accommodation
You will stay in simple, comfortable accommodation within or close to the Park Ecovillage. Rooms are shared, supporting the sense of togetherness and community life that is central to the experience.
Meals
Meals are an integral part of the journey.
We share nourishing, predominantly vegetarian meals prepared with care, using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients where possible. Eating together is treated as a practice in itself: a moment to arrive, connect and experience community through sharing a meal.
Most dietary requirements can be accommodated; please let us know in advance.
Who this week is for
People join a Findhorn Experience Week for many different reasons:
To reconnect with themselves
To explore new ways of relating
To experience community life
To immerse themselves in nature
To slow down and listen more deeply
Or simply be in a reflective environment and feel a sense of renewal.
No prior experience with meditation, community living or spiritual practice is required. What matters most is a willingness to participate, reflect and stay curious.
What you take home
The experience you take home will be uniquely your own.
It emerges through engaged participation, reflection, curiosity and lived experience. Many people leave with a renewed sense of connection, subtle shifts in how they listen and relate, and a deeper trust in their own inner guidance – qualities that continue to unfold long after returning home.
Findhorn Experience Week: From I to We is an invitation to slow down, listen and remember what becomes possible when we meet life together.
While the week centres on the movement from I to We, it also gestures toward a wider horizon, recognising that how we live and relate together shapes the world around us.

Schedule
The week centers around the three core practices developed over 60 years in our community, and how to apply them in your own life:
Deep inner listening to the wisdom you have within you – recognising, accessing and working with your own inner knowing.
Learning how to connect and co-create with the intelligence of nature.
Practising how to put love into all that you do, making every activity an expression of your love, or seeing ‘work’ as love in action.
You will explore:
• A variety of practises that help you recognise your connection to the sacred, and support you to stay in loving relationship with yourself and all beings.
• Insight into your next steps, and what can support you as you move forward in your life.
• Time to learn or deepen your meditation practice.
• Learn more about our community, our rhythms and practises.
Woven throughout the week is a second, more personal dimension to the learning.
