supportive social-cultural environment with a low-impact
lifestyle. Join our programmes to learn more.

The Ecovillage Training teaches
concepts, tools and techniques for creating sustainable
human settlements. It is a month-long intensive
training on how to live together in community, sustainably
with the Earth and all expressions of life. Drawing
from the experience and sharing the tools of the
Findhorn Foundation community participants learn
about permaculture and deep ecology, group dynamics
and ecological building, alternative currencies
and wastewater systems, farming and community supported
agriculture, social enterprise and ecological restoration.
On completion
of design projects participants receive a Permaculture
Design Certificate.
Findhorn Ecovillage has the lowest ecological
footprint for any community in the industrialised
world, just half the UK national average.
