The Findhorn Foundation and Community has been famous since the 1970s for its unique spiritual beliefs and practices, such as co-creation with the intelligence of nature, work is love in action, openhearted relationships and consciousness. Much more recently it has become equally well known as a cutting edge ecovillage, one that produces its own energy, treats its own sewerage, grows its own food and develops sustainable, low-carbon architecture. This book is a collection of one member's personal reflections and observations of life inside this unique intentional community. Graham Meltzer has lived at Findhorn for ten years, having previously spent a lifetime in the communities movement as a resident and researcher. He is passionate about communal living but also brings a dispassionate, analytic eye to his writing. This book is both a 'love letter' and a critique - a reflective insider's perspective on a fascinating social experiment.Meltzer's honest and inspiring insights on life in a spiritual community makes a very good read! (Penny Johnston)Graham Meltzer is a fantastic writer and his ideas are wonderful! (Dorota Owen)I applaud the author's authentic sharing on such an open and personal level. (Peter Wolff)Controversial, moving and enlightening all at the same time! Wonderful! (Catherine Brislee)
