The Findhorn Foundation

From: http://www.findhorn.org/about_us/display_new.php
The Findhorn Foundation is the educational and organisational cornerstone of the Findhorn Community, and its work is based on the values of planetary service, co-creation with nature and attunement to the divinity within all beings. We believe that humanity is engaged in an evolutionary expansion of consciousness, and seek to develop new ways of living infused with spiritual values. We have no formal creed or doctrine. We recognise and honour all the world's major religions as the many paths to knowing our own inner divinity.

Beginnings

The Findhorn Community was begun in 1962 by Peter and Eileen Caddy and Dorothy Maclean. All three had followed disciplined spiritual paths for many years and had been specifically trained to follow God's will. They first came to northeast Scotland in 1957 to manage the run-down Cluny Hill Hotel in the town of Forres. This they did remarkably successfully. Eileen received guidance in her meditations from an inner divine source she called ‘the still small voice within’. Peter ran the hotel according to this guidance, following to the letter the instructions of the "voice" in complete faith. In this unorthodox way - and with many delightful and unlikely God-guided incidents - Cluny Hill swiftly became a thriving and successful four-star hotel. After several years however, Peter and Eileen's employment was terminated, and with nowhere to go and little money, they moved with their three young sons and Dorothy to a caravan in the nearby seaside village of Findhorn.
