Book Description
Updated to showcase color photographs, this spiritual classic presents the history and philosophy of Scotland’s Findhorn Community. Findhorn was founded more than 40 years ago in far northeast Scotland on windswept and barren sand dunes that happened to sprout a miraculous garden. Plants, flowers, trees, and organic vegetables of enormous sizes began to grow in a small plot around the 30-foot caravan trailer inhabited by three adults and three children living on meager unemployment benefits. Guidance by God and absolute faith in the art of manifestation led the occupants to this unlikely locale to create a magnetic center that would draw people from all over the world. Their discovery of how to contact and cooperate with the nature spirits and devas that made the garden possible sparked a phenomenon that continues today, as Findhorn has grown into a thriving village housing hundreds of people from all over the world and an internationally recognized spiritual-learning center.

Book Description
"The Findhorn Foundation, one of the first successful 'new age' communities of present times, was founded in 1962 and continues to be an important part of a world-wide movement for spiritual transformation. What is it like to live in the Findhorn Community today? What is the spiritual inspiration behind its existence and how has it changed and evolved over the years? How is it organised and managed? What kind of people join it, and why--and what changes do they go through? In this book Carol Riddell covers all this and more, including the community's development from its early patriarchal basis to its first hesitant steps into 'spiritual democracy', its evolving relationship with the earth and the environment, and the new businesses and independent projects springing up around it. She both sets the Findhorn Community it its current global context and shows how the process of creating a contemporary spiritual identity can unfold day by day through the ordinary activities of people living and working together." -- Back cover

For over 35 years, people have used these practical teachings that offer advice on achieving stillness, faith, and fulfillment. Specific suggestions for your daily spiritual growth and development enhance the impact of the supportive words. Eileen’s brief messages, from what she called “the still, small voice within,” offer inspirational, uplifting, and powerful words of love and support. Her daily guidance was the bedrock of the early Findhorn Community, and the concept of “inner listening” is still very much part of individual and community practice there today. The encouraging and practical messages speak to those embarking upon the journey to find their divine inner self and spiritual truth. Anyone who meditates--whether inexperienced or seasoned--will find the wisdom shared both insightful and heartening. A new foreword by Jonathan Caddy, Eileen’s son who lives in the Findhorn Community, adds a fresh perspective to the profound influence this guidance can have. No matter how you use the wisdom shared in this small book, take these teachings into yourself and carry them within you, until they have done their silent, gentle, and loving work of opening the doors within.

Book Description
Kay Kay has collected dozens of stories from people who have influenced or been influence by 50 years of the internationally renowned Findhorn Community. Among many others, there are contributions from Eileen and Peter Caddy, Dorothy Maclean, David Spangler, Dr. Patch Adams and lyrics from Mike Scott. She has also contributed stories of her experiences during the 18 years of living there. There are deep insights into many facets of life in the Community. The reasons for people being attracted to the place, how they arrive and why they might leave; the individual and collective experiments in styles of living, community engagement, social interaction, finance, education, healthcare, food production, environmental awareness and Eco Village development. Like all fables, these contain many meanings: the appreciation and value of cultural and ethnic diversity; the benefit of agreed principles, ethics and spiritual values in everyday life; the importance of the arts for enrichment; the enjoyment of working, eating, celebrating and making decisions together in mutual support and respect; the beneficial consequences of creating a culture for sustainability, and ways to evaluate and reconstruct social systems and structures when the need arises. These stories illustrate how what has been created and learned in the Findhorn Community continues to inspire people around the world.
