On November 17, the Findhorn community celebrated its 60th birthday, marking the occasion when the founders and their children arrived onto what is now known as ‘The Park’.

Findhorn is an eco-village, a spiritual New Age community, and a well known alternative education centre in Britain. Founded by Eileen and Peter Caddy and Dorothy Maclean (who only passed away this January aged 100), the community emerged through a mixture of the spiritual guidance received by Eileen, Dorothy’s connection with the nature spirits and Peter’s physical work in grounding the guidance.

Selvam, an experienced graphic designer who has been managing director of a French outsourcing company and now works in the Entry Service, lived for one year in Findhorn and three and half years in Arcosanti.
