The Isle of Erraid, a small tidal island located off the Ross of Mull, hosts a unique intentional community deeply connected to the principles of the Findhorn Foundation. Since 1978, members of the Findhorn Foundation community have served as custodians of Erraid, living and working in harmony with its rugged natural environment. This remote island settlement operates as a satellite community, embodying the core Findhorn principles of inner listening, co-creation with nature, and love in action within a distinctly wilder Hebridean setting.
Life on Erraid is characterized by a commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly living. The community resides in the island’s historic lighthouse keepers’ cottages, where daily routines are guided by the elements and tides. They actively engage in organic gardening, cultivating produce for their meals, caring for animals like chickens and sheep, and relying on wood-burning stoves for heat and hot water. This focus on living close to the land offers a profound experience of self-sufficiency and deep connection with nature.
The Erraid community welcomes guests to participate in various programmes throughout the year, including “Experience Weeks,” “Love in Action Weeks,” and spiritual retreats. These offerings invite visitors to immerse themselves in community life, share in daily meditations, and contribute to tasks such as gardening, wood chopping, or meal preparation. This provides a unique opportunity to explore conscious living and spiritual practice amidst the stunning, raw beauty of a Scottish island, demonstrating a tangible model of sustainable human settlement.
