Mike Scott in The Living Record

Writer, actor, musician and astrologer Ed Maxcy came to Findhorn in 1969 and is described in Eileen Caddy’s Flight Into Freedom as “Eddie”, the young American whose first job was to type out her daily guidance. He later edited the first complete version of Eileen’s God Spoke To Me (1973), and published a volume of his poetry, Guidelines, under the name ‘Alexis’ (1974). He worked in performing arts at Findhorn for many years and, drawing on his training in drama, he initiated the development of the Group Discovery games.

Ed wrote an account of the community’s early theatrical endeavours in 1979, when he had returned to Findhorn after five years in London. He left again in the 1980s to live in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. Ed died in 2006.
