Midweek Muse: “I want you to use this as your basic Affirmation. It is yours, either already in the Soul, or it is yours as a channel through which Infinite Life manifests. Constantly affirm it until it shall become your constant mental attitude. I wish it to be as natural for you to think that all power is within you, as it is natural for you now to breathe or think. You do both unconsciously. Hold this Affirmation of Power until you unconsciously act from it:

Life is a manifestation of Infinity. You are to hold the thought over yourself that, as Life, you are Infinite; that your power of Life is limitless.” Peter Caddy, Soul Science, The Rosicrucian Lectures of Aureolis, Volume 1 of 3. Full article:

SOUL SCIENCE The Rosicrucian Lectures of Aureolis Volume 1 of 3 During the early years of the second world war Peter Caddy received a series of thirteen lectures as a correspondence course from his Rosicrucian teacher, Dr George Sullivan (Aureolis). Dr Sullivan was Supreme Magus or chief of the Rosi...

Our Saturday Snippet from Offerings to Inspire:
“The message of the New Age, of joy and of greater attunement to the whole of Life, which might not be accepted in terms of working with Nature Spirits or being a Light Centre, could find new outlets, new forms of communication through the universal language of art, particularly hand-made crafts of a high standard of creativity, originality and excellence.
This was the dream behind the vision and building of the Findhorn Studios: that this new enterprise would be a powerful link between the inner aspects of Findhorn life and work and the outside world.” Extract from The Transformation Of Findhorn. Full article:

In 1972 the Findhorn Foundation was set up as a charitable trust. The chairman, Captain Ross Stewart, wrote a letter to friends and supporters to announce this new development and referred to this booklet for further information. For you to enjoy the feel of the beautiful publication, we have provid...

The Findhorn Garden - Illuminated: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002l23l
"This is a story about a community on the north east coast of Scotland that talked to plants with miraculous results.

Established in 1962, the Findhorn community gained international recognition for 40lb cabbages, 8-foot delphiniums, and roses that bloomed in snow.

With seemingly no gardening experience, community founders Peter and Eileen Caddy and their friend Dorothy Maclean transformed the barren sand dunes surrounding the 30-foot caravan they were living in, into a modern-day garden of Eden.

The public wanted to know how this was possible. What was the source of this horticultural miracle?

People flocked to Findhorn from around the world to witness this incredible transformation first-hand.

An extraordinary story began to emerge. Peter, Eileen and Dorothy - along with Scottish writer and supernatural enthusiast Robert Ogilvie Crombie (ROC) - attributed their success to one thing: collaboration with the ‘intelligence of nature’.

They claimed they had pierced the veil of the nature spirit realm, and were regularly receiving guidance from fairies, floral spirits and angelic forms Dorothy called 'Devas' - the ‘architects’ of the natural world. Moreover, they had been called upon by these entities to transform the Findhorn Garden into a centre of spiritual light.

What started with a single family in a caravan quickly grew into a thriving international village of hundreds of people united by shared social, spiritual and ecological values.

Inspired by the media's enduring fascination with Findhorn's supernatural origins, sound designer Jonathan Webb travels to Findhorn in search of transmissions from the nature spirit realm.

Trawling through the archives, in conversation with community elders, and in pursuit of sonic traces of higher elemental worlds, Jonathan brings into focus the echoes and reverberations of Findhorn’s strange and magical past.

Our Midweek Muse from Offerings to Inspire Series: Longterm Resident Community Member Randy Klinger (artist extraordinaire): “I gained greater and greater recognition of what a haven the Ecovillage Findhorn is and what we have here: non-transactional friendships, people to go to for support, being a support and of service for others, fresh air, trees, woods, sea, a collective aim and purpose towards love, beauty, ecology, an aspiration towards Spirit, a context in which we can bring our hopes, our desires, our need for Spirit in our lives …”

I am just back from 5 weeks in New York, where I had a solo exhibition. I was given an empty apartment in a very desirable neighbourhood, by Lincoln Center, just a walk to the Met Museum or the Met Opera, grand old apartment buildings between 2 parks and close to a main subway station. But by

Longterm Community Member Marilyn Hamilton: "Ecovillage Findhorn: Laboratory and Beacon":

When I first heard the phrase “laboratory and beacon” applied to Ecovillage Findhorn, I knew it expressed something profound about the place we inhabit together. It is not simply a community to live in; it is a living system where experiments unfold and light is sent outward. We are both testing...

Saturday Snippet from Our Offerings to Inspire Series: “I cherish my memories of Peter and Eileen’s warmth, and of the afternoon I join Dorothy for tea in her snug little trailer home. An exquisite feeling of peace steals over me as I sit there with her. The center between and above my eyebrows stirs and gently pulsates with light.

My Findhorn friends water my inner garden. At one point, Peter spends the better part of a day taking me to a number of powerful places in the area. One of them, Randolph’s Leap, is said to be especially charged with the presence of elves, fairies, and other subtle beings of Nature.” Geoffrey Oelsner:

Midweek Muse: "“A qualitative shift in the atmosphere takes place with the sharing of private reactions, tension may mount above the conventional meeting level, and the prospects for significant interactions are increased.”
Full Article & Editor’s Note: the following is from a paper based on research conducted by Al McLeod from California State University Fresno, California during his visit in 1977 to the Findhorn Foundation Community. The paper is entitled Findhorn, Fact or Fiction? A Sociological Study of a Scottish Intentional Community. As was common at the time, the author used the name “Findhorn”, instead of “the Findhorn Foundation Community” throughout the paper. We apologise to our local neighbours for the upset this appropriation of their name may cause.
