Woodhead Community
After 17 successful years as a small family and land-based community near the Findhorn Foundation, change is at hand in the Woodhead Community. Our children are growing up and moving on, and we are looking to welcome new people into our group.
Our committed core group currently consists of three couples aged between 40 and 60. The gardens and buildings offer space for at least one more family to join us.
We will soon have half a house available to be rented by a family with young children or a couple who are keen to be part of the next phase of creating our future together. The unit has a large fully-independent kitchen & sitting room, though some facilities are shared with the other half of the house. We also have communal facilities, mainly a big kitchen/dining room used for our shared meals.
We endeavour to balance the needs of individually earning a living with the joys and challenges of being in close relationship, sharing resources and growing our own food. Besides the sharing of community responsibilities, we also engage in artistic, political and ecological debate and action. We encourage clear and honest interaction, and a growing personal awareness of what moves us spiritually.
We want to continue our shared life with a broad cultural and age range of people. We envisage retaining rhythms such as shared cooking for evening meals, food-buying, car-pool and working together once a week. We also welcome new inspiration and input.
