Whoa ! I just thought about that a week or so ago ... hadn't thought of it in years. I read a book about Findhord , 'The Magic of Findhorn' when I was a wee Willy around 1976, whenever that book came out . I'm on the wrong side of the 'pond' to just drop in.

not been but saw a good docu on it many moons ago (theres a couple on youtube). struck me as both pretty cool and a little too starchildy. like meditating before any decision. i got the feeling they medittated before taking a pee. id be happy to visit and take what i can from it...theres treasure everywhere if you dig eh. some of it did make me feel uncomfortable though...some geezer was running a tree hugging workshop and had his legs wrapped round one saying how sexual it was...almost seemed like the tree was being abused.

they had some indian guru arrive, basically, looking for somewhere to set up a church and have followers...they handled him very well, or rather, the fella looking after his visit did. This was 10 year ago so maybe its different now

findhorn was also the topic for the last chapter in a book i read called "the secret life of nature"--about fae. it was interesting to read about how the community started and i do feel they were directed by advanced spiritual beings in the beginning. whether it all still has the same energy behind it i don't know. spirituality needed a push back then but now has some momentum.

I haven't been but my 2 friends havem they spent a week there about 4 years back... They said it was actually quite expensive .. I think they paid about £400 each.. They said it was 'All found' including various substances... workshops too...
They felt it was a good experience and they learned a lot about alternative technology too... Sorry no idea how much it is now... or even if it is still operating... Best have a Google ...

i used to belong to an sister community here of Findhorn on Whidbey Island, WA. Very nature centered, grassroots, green, informed, sustainability, farming etc. oh and of course community centered.
