In this episode we hear from Tim Slack about the economic potential of The Park, Findhorn and his thoughts on how we can develop a more financially and socially sustainable community.

Tim is Chair of New Findhorn Directions at The Park Ecovillage Findhorn. He is also founder and co-director with Suzanne Quinney of Appreciating People, which uses techniques like appreciative inquiry as a catalyst for generating ideas and facilitating change in organisations and communities.

Hear how Ken Walker and Susie Minto put together the first ever Ukulele Festival at the Findhorn Ecovillage this year. The event held at the Universal Hall brought many new people to experience the Ecovillage and money into the local economy.

”There is no one way. . . and there isn’t one core message. . .”

Eian’s journey to this community began when he set out to find a place to raise his first child—but he soon discovered that life here was also a place for his own growing up (a process that continues to this day).

In this conversation, Eian reflects on the past two decades and the community’s complex evolution—from the Findhorn Foundation to changes in the NFA and the organisations emerging to steward the community into the future.
