‘WHY’ Vision Sessions: Results
In the course of our recent consultations with the Findhorn Foundation stakeholders, defined organisational groups , its dedicated supporters, and its vibrant community, we’ve engaged in a series of insightful and deeply enriching dialogues and information exchanges that ranged from dynamic group processes, individual responses via questionnaire and very personal contacts via email.
In each of the visioning sessions participants were asked to meditate on the following questions:
Why is the Findhorn Foundation meaningful to you?
What has been the impact of the Findhorn Foundation in your life, your community and/or your world?

The resulting dialogues not only showcased the collective wisdom and shared commitment towards the Foundation’s mission, but also highlighted the profound diversity of perspectives that enrich our community.
