What's Happening?

On the 18th of November 2024, Ecovillage Findhorn, on behalf of 381 community members, purchased almost all of the Findhorn Foundation Trust's (FF) buildings and land to the east of the runway, as well as the Universal Hall. Next year the community will buy an area known as Pineridge.

As FF winds down, the community as a whole is stepping up to run this Designated UN-Habitat Best Practice model for sustainable living, allowing FF’s new charity to focus on developing its spiritual education offerings.

FF retains Cullerne Gardens and land on the west side of the runway for its future plans; with EF holding pre-emption rights on behalf of the community, should FF need to sell in the future (see map here).

EF is focused on regenerating the economy; restoring the Universal Hall, democratising and simplifying the organisational system; and, in time, leading the new community centre siting and design process.

In 2025, alongside our fellow community organisations, we are welcoming guests back to the Park with educational retreats, all together helping to restore the Park. These will develop further as we stand the Park up again.

About EF

EF is the community’s newest and largest, postcode-defined, non-profit, democratic organisation, rooted in local resident membership that elects its leadership. While primarily representing the voices of residents, EF is also open to global members, fostering a wider connection with supporters worldwide.

We are leading the community buyout and the relaunch of the Park, working in close collaboration with other key community organisations, including the New Findhorn Association (NFA), our longstanding unincorporated community association; the Titleholders Association (THA), and several others.

Building on sixty years of the community's amazing spiritual and ecological heritage, EF continues the focus on creating a better world through a balance of inner work and outer action.
