As Ecovillage Findhorn Community explored 5 Inspirations for its Community Purpose, it drafted 8 potent and potential Purpose Statements.

  1. (Inspired by Strategic Framework): We are an inclusive, vibrant spiritual community exploring co-creation with all life, seen and unseen. We are a caring community here for the benefit of all.
  1. We take personal and collective responsibility for our own spiritual practice and from this place of deep connection we are of service to the world.
  1. Evolving, developing and co-creating in harmony with one another, with nature, spirit and the planet, whilst fostering a kind, caring and vibrant community.

 

  1. (Inspired by Dorothy MacLean): We intend to cultivate a personal relationship with the sacred mystery and the capacity to co-operate with the intelligence of nature and all beings, seen and unseen, and to encourage awareness of spiritual laws and develop ways of living in harmony with them.

 

  1. (Inspired by Patrick Lewington): In the spirit of community we continue to evolve and support each other to live in alignment with our roots of inner listening, recognising all action as an opportunity to be present with love in co-creation with all, in recognition of our interdependence.

 

  1. (Inspired by Global Ecovillage Network (GEN)): We aspire to live a life of applied spirituality, creating a regenerative, resilient and loving community of interconnectedness with all life.
  1. (Inspired by Whole community purpose): To live together as an intentional community in harmony with nature, putting our shared values and principles into practice in our daily lives, to support each other on our spiritual paths and enhance the quality of our lives.

8. To demonstrate practical spirituality, finding unity through inspiration and diversity, creating a safe environment to expand compassionate consciousness, to grow mature humans who naturally and unavoidably demonstrate and inspire transformation for themselves and others, and aspire to embody a multi-dimensional practical spirituality.
