Findhorn Press is an independent publishing house in northeast Scotland who offers books, sets of cards, cds and dvds that cover a wide range of 'mind-body-spirit' topics such as nature, spirituality, alternative health (for both people and for animals), self-help, etc. We publish under 3 different 'imprints': Findhorn, Caminoguides (which focuses on guidebooks for pilgrims to Santiago de Compostella) and Earthdancer (holistic, mostly crystal, healing, and the nature/angelic kingdoms).

Some of our titles are written by the Findhorn community founders and members, but the majority of them are written by authors living all around the world - just like we distribute our titles worldwide (see Trade & Rights info). In addition, many of our titles have been translated in one or more languages and been published by a local publisher.

Some of our authors have written many books -- Diana Cooper, James F. Twyman, Marko Pogacnik, Martin Brofman, Ann Gadd, John L. Payne to name but a few. Others may be less famous but we think they have something special to say. Please do explore our web site, hopefully you will find something of interest. You are very welcome to subscribe to our newsletter which we will attempt to send regularly (that is at least our intention!).

There are a wide range of free-lance editors, designers and typesetters who regularly work for Findhorn Press, around a core team of employees:

Publisher and managing director Thierry Bogliolo joined Findhorn Press in July 1994, having previously lived and worked in the Findhorn community for 7 years. His main focus is production, and as such he spends a good deal of time corresponding with authors, editors, graphic designers, printers and distributors. He mostly works from his home-office in the southwest of France but regularly goes back to Findhorn to work with the rest of the team.

He can be contacted at Thierry@findhornpress.com

Carol Shaw arrived at Findhorn in 1979 along with her husband and, then, 7 year old son. She joined the Press in July 1998 and is the Marketing & Sales Manager. She is responsible for customer service, marketing and publicity and supplying information on our books to the media. Her idea of relaxing is to go off walking in the mountains of Europe to study the alpine plants or work in her large alpine garden along with her husband David, she is keen to promote the knowledge and growing of alpine plants. Keeping their Siamese cats off the precious plants can be quite a challenge!

Sabine Weeke has worked in several areas of publishing in her native Germany. After spending some time in the Findhorn Community she joined the team in 2002 and is responsible for all foreign rights -- in other words, she is in charge of convincing publishers around the world to translate and publish our books in their respective language/country. She loves Scotland and spends much of her time in nature and dancing.

She can be contacted at Sabine@findhornpress.com

Mieke Wik joined Findhorn Press in March 2006. She returned to the area after a break of 10 years, having lived in a number of European countries, including her home country Belgium. (By the way, she is Flemish, not French speaking!) She has many years experience working with accounts and administration, both in her and her partner Stephan's business, and for a charity. She started off working very part time, but is taking on more responsibilities as time goes by. Her other interests are: dancing 5 Rhythms, hill walking, reflexology and massage.
