Findhorn
An intentional community where windswept dunes meet radical experiments in sustainable living.
Gardens bloom impossibly in sandy soil while workshops on permaculture and consciousness unfold in timber halls. This coastal village operates on different principles—where organic food cooperatives replace chain stores and neighbors gather for decision-making circles instead of small talk.
