The Findhorn Community
-
- This book was published in 1990 by The Findhorn Press, Forres,
Scotland, and is now out of print, except in german and spanish
editions
- It was written after 6 years
experience in the Community and is a study of all its aspects
.
- It has 3 sections. The first
is a discussion of the meaning of spiritual community in the
contemporary world, with particular reference to Findorn. The
second is a detailed examination of community life, its history,
organization and practice. The third is a series of interviews
with a diverse cross-section of members of the community in the
late 1980s. Chapter 5 on the History of the Findhhorn Foundation
was reprinted in The Kingdom Within, an anthology published
by the Findhorn Press.
- All in all, the Findhorn Community
remains the definitive study of the Findhorn Foundation Community,
although many details have changed since it was written. I consider
it my most significant work. The full edition is available from
libraries.
- On this web site, I have not
included the photographs and Harley Miller's Line Drawings. Much
of the material is very relevant to wider issues than the those
of the community itself, for it concerns the way humanity lives
in the 21st century.
- Each chapter is given as a web page. For this, web edition,
I have modified dates slightly but made only the most essential
alterations, except for chapters 2,3 and 4, which are thoroughly
revised
