“Within a year of my initial arrival at Findhorn in November 1974, I was assigned to work on the completion of the Universal Hall roof. My task was to take the community truck, called Tipsy, out to Mundole Court on the Findhorn River daily to collect river stones that were tipped daily at the rear of the building. I did so with a band of guests who did yeoman labour collecting them, wheel barrowing them onto the roof, and placing them into a pattern that accentuated its pentagonal shape.”
