Living on the Isle of Erraid

The tiny Hebridean island of Erraid has been home to a small group of members of the Findhorn Foundation for over 40 years. Living life on a remote Scottish island brings us to the forefront of experiencing nature at its rawest, which allows us to hold a deeper connection to the land, the ocean, the weather and the spirit that encompasses us all. Our vision for our community and the island is to live in as eco-friendly and sustainable way as is possible whilst practising our spiritual values and living consciously.

Our community is open to guests and you are welcome to join our small family for a week or more. Many people have been called to Erraid to engage in community/alternative living, to be part of learning how to live more sustainably and to live off the land and sea, whilst experiencing its outstanding stillness and beauty.
If a retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life sounds more appealing for your week with us, Erraid can be the perfect setting for this. If you are looking for a new direction in your life Erraid will give you the space and time to reflect amidst its raw beauty. A retreat is also perfect for a family eco-holiday, as children of all ages love the freedom and the sense of adventure and exploration here.

I visited for 2 weeks in '81 and it was a wonderful time. I'm delighted to find the community still thriving, and seeing the charming row of houses, even the gate through which the goats tried to barge!

Was für ein ruhiges, naturverbundenes und in Gemeinschaft kraftvolles Leben!!

I found inner peace there on Erraid and Iona, that was 36 years ago ! That sense of peace has come and go when I returned to urban life but the seed was definitely planted in my soul on that remote yet magical island.

god i wish i could just live like this

[@missasinenomine]

You can. But it's c-c-c-c-c-cold in the winter. And dark!

Nice video, friends... I've known Erraid since my Findhorn orientation week in 1977, and visiting a few other times during that era. You could also mention the history of the houses--built by the lighthouse Stevensons as a base for the building of a lighthouse out in the Atlantic (which can be seen from Erraid).
