Guests are welcomed throughout the year to join in with our open weeks where you may spend time working, celebrating and meditating alongside us in a sense of openness, honesty and appreciation for all that we have.
We invite you to come and join us for one or two weeks, or perhaps longer if you wish and children are always welcome. They usually love the adventure and freedom of the island.

In
addition to the open weeks, we are running a series of themed weeks to
celebrate the Celtic festivals full details are outlined below - and remember!
participation in any of our programmes does not require you have completed
a Findhorn Experience Week.

Samhain
(Halloween) 25 October – 1 November 2008
This
is the summer’s end and the beginning of the Celtic New Year. A
time when the veil between the worlds is at it’s thinnest.This
year we will be lighting the sacred fires and leaving space for the souls
gone from this plane so that they may also enjoy the company of friends
and loved ones for stories and singing. We will also be using the fires
to symbolically cleanse our living spaces and ourselves.
And let’s not forget turnip lanterns, special treats and oh so chilly ghost stories.

Winter
Solstice 13 – 20 December 2008
This is a time to pause, to perceive the seeds of our future growth, to
gather intent and make our resolutions for the coming months. A time for
gathering in the celebration tree, and making decorations from evergreens
and other materials of the land. A time of singing, feasting, bonfires,
meditation and gifts for each other.
Leave behind the hype, the marketing and merchandising of Christmas and enjoy a real family atmosphere during this so special a time.

New
Year Retreat 29th December 2008 – 3rd January 2009
If the thought of another 'noisy, garish New Year's Eve' leaves you cold, then
perhaps you should consider joining our small community for what promises to
be a more 'natural' celebration.
The week will allow lots of time for walks out onto the island, meals with
friends, talks, chats and even a traditional Celidh whilst our sanctuary will
offer daily meditation and singing.
Spaces on this retreat will be limited and demand is expected to be high –

energies together and for honouring that union. This is a special time of gathering

the new into our lives. Of jumping bonfires and making promised to others,
and for walking our great stone spiral by moonlight.
