Long ago I read a book called "The Magic of Findhorn. I think it's out of print. After visiting Findhorn in 1981, I realized that the community had changed greatly since the early days of Findhorn. described the act at the time of our visit, the community itself through itself as "growing pains". My first reaction was disappointment because it was not some place where picturesque nature dance divas and there was 40 pounds cabbage. I had a vision of a Shangri-la. It 'been away fromI know
I expressed some disappointment and our group went to work by building a new building. He felt that jumping right into this community work is the best medicine for my initial shock. In the works of all Findhorn. The President of the Findhorn works. In fact, there are menial jobs. Everyone takes a janitor cleaning toilets, tables, dinner is waiting. Guidance Eileen 'he said, the jobs have been perhaps the so-called servicespiritual. Many CEOs lose touch with who they really are, simply masonry, even in a plush office somewhere. Although everyone has a chance to drive the development of the Group Localizer location "on a given day. Well, let me back ... Findhorn is what?
last paragraph I quote Eileen Caddy. Eileen and Peter Caddy, founder of Findhorn. This couple was to live well fare, almost starved to death in a dilapidated trailer park in Scotland are called caravans caravanParks. They are described as people who honestly try to find work, were nothing to them was manifested in the nature of the workplace. They had a couple of friends in the same boat trailers. Eileen decided to have a garden, plants, to keep them upright. The ground was rocky and Findhorn is situated on the Moray Firth, North Sea.
The vegetation and soil conditions are far from ideal, but Eileen knew only that the government is not enough raw materials: this garden was necessary. During hisDigging and weeding time in his small garden, Eileen was the "fairyland" or as they call them "nature divas" visits. He heard a voice, begs some plants and vegetables to fight together to talk about some plants. Some thought it was insane and mentally over the edge, but it happens. It 'was another' higher order 'companies visited, as "my leadership."
I jump on you say that a group of local journalists from Inverness, ScotlandNews that a little 'magic fairy Findhorn was happening. The flash news was: it grows roses in the snow, 40 kilos of coal, and are able to produce the Caravan Park (now) with the vegetables in abundance, to feed the garden. It 'was truly magical. Over the next 10 years, people will attend, but they were right to put to work in the garden. Work in the garden was the happiest place of all ... and some of these visitors were the chairmen and CEOs of banks, which do not normallydirty hands. The flowers were vibrant color and smell and almost sang, if they could. The vegetables were plump and tasty, tasty produce none had ever eaten. Yes, the buzz word of the Findhorn was now in Scotland and England, and soon ... the world.
What happened? There is a curse that comes with fame and fortune? Eileen and Peter moved into the fast lane. Jet jumped continents and had to open doors for them to imagine before. Eileen wasthe "mother figure" of the community. In case of problems, it is time to buildings and gardens and nurseries and child care, clothing and cotton weaving, and folk dances of the show, and various other community initiatives for the call to Eileen. Would find a quiet place and go inside. Eileen would guide the community on how to solve various problems teach. Sounds and so far has been perfect, until one day he stopped. "The guidance," said Eileento withdraw from this role. It was time to tune the other leadership.
Oh, yes, it was a huge collective groan and moan. This community is unchanged "magic must come" to work on less glamorous and mundane facts of social life. Egos flare is human pettiness began, there were no problems today in a once idyllic community. But it had to happen. This community had to find "their legs".
Well, when I came to Findhorn. I was there about two years afterEileen stopped the guidelines of the Community. And no, not at all what I had imagined. There I was confronted with some difficult realities. And towards the end of my stay I felt like Dorothy clicking heels and say "there is no place like home."
It took years to understand what I have learned and experienced in Findhorn. I learned a lot about community.
My guide tells me I'm part of a community of Findhorn, a day ... and the creation and launch it. Sometimes wefly around the world in search of a truth, just realize it was in our house all the time.
We simply do not see. And Findhorn: The above statement is, I felt a bit '. Then I realized another truth: I have collected many strong pebble in my shoe, while in Findhorn, only now I see them as gold nuggets. And 'magic was there, after all. I think I brought home a little too fairy tale.
Fairy hugs and kisses,
Nancy Lake
