Three years ago, at Ecovillage Findhorn, Scotland, we began Saturday morning meditations to create Islands of Calm in a VUCA world—volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous. Inspired by David Spangler’s reminder that calm within can ripple outward to 1,000 others, we gathered to cultivate inner stillness.

Since then, our practice has evolved. In today’s world of growing complexity, we now co-create Islands of Coherence—fields of resonance that can help shift entire systems. Nobel Laureate Ilya Prigogine reminds us:
“Small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order.”

Each week we begin with a short check-in, a brief inspiration, and a chime into guided meditation, including 10 minutes of silence. We close with a second chime and optional sharing.

This Saturday, June 14, 2025 we move into the New Sanctuary, anchoring our intention for coherence in the sacred heart of the community. The space itself radiates stillness—and as sunlight streams through the high windows, we often witness radiant Islands of Light dancing on the walls, echoing the energy of our gathering.

We also draw on David Spangler’s Light Bank, deposit blessings, and follow the murmuration metaphor: keep flying, stay close, aim for the centre.

To join us at 8:45am Saturdays, send us a contact message. Doors open at 8:35.
