===Community=== The Foundation has been called a "spiritual [[utopian community]]".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Spielvogel |first1=Jackson |title=Findhorn: The Evolution of a Spiritual Utopian Community |journal=The Journal of General Education |year=1985 |volume=37 |issue=3 |pages=231β244 |jstor=27797037}}</ref> The community includes an arts centre, shop, pottery, bakery, publishing company, printing company and other charitable organisations. All aim to practice the founding principles of the community and together make up the New Findhorn Association (NFA). The NFA was formed in 1999 to provide a structure for all the people and organisations in the community. It includes people from within a 50-mile radius of The Park, at Findhorn. Each year a council and two listener-conveners are elected by the membership of the NFA, who organise monthly community meetings to decide upon community-wide issues. By 2011, the NFA consisted of "320 members and 30 organisations".<ref name=NFA>[http://www.findhorn.org/aboutus/community/nfa/ New Findhorn Community Association] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111120015822/http://www.findhorn.org/aboutus/community/nfa/ |date=20 November 2011 }}. Retrieved 18 December 2011</ref> These included for example the Findhorn Press, the Phoenix Community Stores, the [[Trees for Life (Scotland)|Trees for Life]] organisation, and the various educational centres including the Findhorn Foundation itself.<ref name=NFA/>{{efn|The phrase "the Findhorn community" thus has at least 3 meanings: the Findhorn Foundation; the NFA; and the people of the village of Findhorn.}}
