Our experience facilitators
Fi Luray
I first discovered the Findhorn Foundation as a 19 year old while visiting from the States. Inspired by the organisation, I returned a decade later in 2021 to work first in the garden team, then Communications, and eventually in Education.
I am passionate about bringing people together and the potential for finding our own inner voice that the Foundation facilitates. I am delighted to be back and sharing the Findhorn Foundation’s inspiring experiences.
Ellie Homer
I first came to Findhorn in 2022 as a volunteer in the gardens, and was captivated by the work, the people and the way of life here. Here I gained a lot from the daily rhythms of meditation, attunement, love in action and working with nature. I was inspired to stay in the community after this experience, continuing to build on these practices and enjoying community life. I am passionate about all things outdoors, creating art, being with others and continuing to learn and explore

After studying both architecture and fine arts in South Africa I practiced professionally in Cape Town, London and Cornwall. Despite appearing successful, existentially I felt stuck. I decided to seek help and enrol in a 2 year one-to-one program with a creative psychotherapist, healer and forgiveness guide, who is also a Reiki master. During this time I was introduced to and started exploring for myself alternative forms of spirituality and somatic healing practices. I developed a personal spiritual practice with elements of meditation, flow of consciousness writing, breathwork, cold water therapy, dream analysis and yoga. I also developed a profound desire for PEACE, which drew me to non-dualism, non-violence and metaphysics, particularly A Course in Miracles.
Upon completion of the psychotherapy program, which coincided with changes to my circumstances, I wished to explore living in a community of like-minded people, which led me to residential volunteering at Cluny Hill in the summer of 2023. Here I learned of the core principles of the Findhorn Foundation. It was a transformative experience that deepened, expanded and accelerated my healing and capability for peace.
I have now relocated full time to Scotland and am resident in The Park Ecovillage Findhorn where I continue to pursue my spiritual practice through daily study and embodiment. I am excited by the opportunity to participate in the holding of small retreats on Iona, particularly at Traigh Bhan, which is a beautiful space in which to experiment with shared living and enjoying simplicity and peace.

ONLINE MEDITATION COORDINATOR
I arrived at Cluny in 2019, and just as I was settling into the Findhorn community, life had a wonderful surprise in store – I became a mum! Although it wasn’t something I’d originally planned, motherhood has turned out to be the most beautiful and unexpected blessing.
Now that my daughter is a bit older, I’m back working part-time with the Foundation. My role involves supporting our team by answering guest emails and helping our retreat facilitators and Andrew, our Education Director, with their work.
Over the past few years, I’ve been delving into The Law of One, a set of teachings that’s had a profound impact on me. It explores the unity of all things and the journey of spiritual growth, adding real richness to my own path.
Joern Fiebig
My name is Joern Fiebig, born in Germany, and I moved to Findhorn in 1997, where I live and serve within the community, most of the time as a member and co-worker of the Foundation, having been involved with the educational branch, focalising groups, and also through being a member of the Management team for 4 years. Currently I'm also a member of the community's Visitor Centre team, and our Whole Community Meditation team.
I was from the very beginning deeply connected to the spiritual impulse of Findhorn, initiated by the Founders. I love to create nature art, lead by attunement and intuition, have a daily spiritual practice, and believe in and live 'love in action'. To serve as group facilitator on Iona and Erraid is a special joy for me, as I love the West Coast, and have a long running personal connection with both islands.
Hanna Morjan
I was a Findhorn Foundation staff member for 30 years and live in The Park Ecovillage at Findhorn. I have worked in many different areas of the Foundation and have been part of the ‘Iona group’, holding many retreats at Traigh Bhan and bringing many groups to the island of Erraid. I share my joy of song, dance and poetry and love of cooking, being inspired and being inspiring.
The sacred Isle of Iona, the retreat house Traigh Bhan and the island of Erraid hold a special place in my heart, as it’s here that I can experience spirit and beauty, silence and deep connection to the land, the sea, the clouds and the rocks.
