Amazon Book Description: Updated to showcase color photographs, this spiritual classic presents the history and philosophy of Scotland’s Findhorn Community. Findhorn was founded more than 40 years ago in far northeast Scotland on windswept and barren sand dunes that happened to sprout a miraculous garden. Plants, flowers, trees, and organic vegetables of enormous sizes began to grow in a small plot around the 30-foot caravan trailer inhabited by three adults and three children living on meager unemployment benefits. Guidance by God and absolute faith in the art of manifestation led the occupants to this unlikely locale to create a magnetic center that would draw people from all over the world. Their discovery of how to contact and cooperate with the nature spirits and devas that made the garden possible sparked a phenomenon that continues today, as Findhorn has grown into a thriving village housing hundreds of people from all over the world and an internationally recognized spiritual-learning center.
By Sandy Penny: I first connected with the first Findhorn Garden book in the late 1970s. It was a marvelous story of how a group of people on a piece of inhospitable land began to grow an amazing garden by communicating with the land, the elementals, and the insects and animals that lived there. After asking what to plant, they made a commitment to follow their guidance and do all the crazy things that they were told in their meditations. Now, the Findhorn Foundation is known world-wide as the initiator of EcoVillages using their spirituality, permaculture, and connection with the land to grow the most fantastic Garden of Eden in an unlikely place. They now have visitors from around the world who want to learn more about how they do it. When I spent time across the world from me on Norfolk Island, I was amazed to find that a beautiful garden had been created there by a couple who went to Findhorn and trained in their multi-dimensional growing practices. If you want to save the world and humanity, it's well worth getting acquainted with Findhorn. I am not a gardener, by any means, but I have used many of their non-denominational spiritualpractices to communicate with ants, spiders, bees, mice, and other unseen beings to make my own personal environment a better place.
