The Findhorn Community: Creating a Human Identity for the 21st Century"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 |
