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).

Prriyanka's journey first brought her to Ecovillage Findhorn through her passion for spirituality, permaculture, alternative schooling and reading Eileen Caddy's book Opening Doors Within. After years immersed in intentional community life in Scotland, she has now returned to India and now lives in the Auroville community. Prriyanka reflects on what she carries with her from her time at Findhorn, as well as the contrasts and connections between the two communities.
