Findhorn, Scotland

[Sanity Claws]

Is anyone here familiar with Findhorn, Scotland? If you have been there or know of someone who has been there, please contact me. I would love to hear of your experience and whether you recommend it as a way of finding Spirit in nature.

1. Sounds interesting

I figured there would be spirits afoot there. I just know if I traveled through Ireland and Scotland I'd see some little people in the forests.

3. Thank you for your response

I think I will be going in late summer. I'll let you know if I run into any wee folks.

2. Never been there

but I've lived in an ecovillage and visited many. Yes, I can recommend them as ways of finding Spirit in nature. And the nature of your Self.

4. Thank you for your response

I plan to go in late summer and will let you know what I find -- Spirit, myself, Scotch whiskey, wee folks. Who knows?

5. Remember not to be "surprised"

to find also common people with common human problems, joys and sorrows, just living their lives. And that's where the real magic is. The experience and realization that our issues are human to human issues, about us as human beings living as part of nature, which keeps giving and loving. The occasional and growing lack of stress from the abstract bureaucratic pressures and demands from the abstract power structures we somehow created, can be very astonishing - and refreshing.

Happy trip and many wonderful miracles! <3
