Amanda Haworth Wiklund M.A.
Amanda joined the PET Board in August 2017 as a Non-Executive Director. She joined the Findhorn Community in 1977, living and working there until she moved to Sweden in 1991.
During 23 years residence in Sweden she lived in two structures of housing associations, serving as chair of one. These experiences gave her insights and understanding of the advantages, requirements and complexities of shared housing.
Amanda has also worked extensively with social enterprises serving on the European Board of the Social Venture Network Europe (SVNE) for seven years. In 2006 she established the Nordic office for the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) which she ran until retirement in 2014.

Izzy - Isabella Guerrini de Claire
In 2007, I founded an environmental school in Bologna inspired by the Systemic Teaching approach of the Center for Ecoliteracy in California. The school supported families and vulnerable teenagers in reconnecting with nature and community.
Aside from a formal training background in sustainable land and agriculture management, I also trained in counselling at the Hellinger Schule in 2010, I moved to Scotland in 2011, bringing with me a deep sensitivity to group dynamics, social inclusion, and compassionate communication.
As a two-time cancer survivor, my healing journey inspired me to train formally during the pandemic with the University of Winchester as a plant-based nutrition coach. I now support others, especially cancer patients, through a Gift Economy model where each person contributes what they can and helps others in need. My work focuses on restoring balance through food, emotional awareness, and self-care.
As Operations, Communications, and Fundraising Manager of the Caring Community Circle, I help ensure compliance, streamline activities, and nurture cooperation, resilience, and care within and beyond the Findhorn Ecovillage. I have successfully led and supported several fundraising initiatives, helping to secure vital resources for startup innovation, community wellbeing, basic needs access and impact support, and inclusion programmes. I am passionate about creating transparent and participatory processes that connect generosity with purpose and strengthen a culture of shared stewardship.
I also serve as Carbon Strategy Director at PET, contributing to its regenerative and ecological vision.
My life and work are guided by the belief that regeneration begins in “relationships”: between people, the Earth, and our shared intention to serve life with integrity and compassion.

Leona Graham
Leona Graham is the new CCC Director at PET. Leona began her professional life in academia in Canada before choosing a very different direction in 1975: she left her academic career to join the Findhorn Foundation Community. In her early years there, she contributed to the construction of the Universal Hall and became deeply involved in community life and leadership. She worked as General Office focalizer, supported Peter and Eileen Caddy in personal and organizational roles, engaged in conference organizing and served as part of the Core Group guiding the Foundation’s evolution. She later also participated in the FEMC (Findhorn Extended Members Council) and the COIF (https://
After leaving the Foundation in 1984, Leona carried the values and experience of cooperative living, shared responsibility, and inner listening into the wider world. She became active in community organizing in Glastonbury, England, a vibrant hub of cultural, spiritual, and social experimentation, and later returned to Canada to teach in Adult Education at the University of Western Ontario.
She then moved into the field of conservation and ecological advocacy, contributing to the work of The WILD Foundation, an international organization dedicated to the protection and restoration of wilderness areas and the fostering of a respectful, reciprocal relationship between humans and the natural world. Her work with WILD supported collaborative initiatives linking conservation, community participation, and cultural transformation, continuing the same core values of stewardship and shared responsibility that shaped her time at Findhorn.
Leona returned to the Findhorn Ecovillage and Spiritual Community in 2017, bringing with her decades of experience in grassroots organizing, education, and environmental advocacy. She remains engaged in community development, shared governance, and intergenerational learning. Throughout her life, her commitment has stayed constant: nurturing compassionate community, ecological awareness, and the possibility of collective transformation grounded in everyday practice.
