Came to the Findhorn Foundation Community: 1975 for 6 months, then again in 1977 for 6 months

Left the Findhorn Foundation Community: the last time in late 1978

Areas of involvement with the Findhorn Foundation Community: After the Experience Findhorn week, I moved to Cluny, which was still accomodating coach parties! I joined the laundry, then the housework team, and eventually was the focaliser for it! When I returned to Cluny, I also (on the recommendation of Peter Caddy) began an art class (observing and drawing from nature,in a tiny little room that had been a broom cupboard!) I became very involved in the Sacred Dance, and moved to a caravan in the Park.

Community leadership: Focalising the housework group in Cluny during the time the last hotel guests were visiting, early days! I think I'm right in saying this was in 1975

Experience in the community affected your work in the world: On leaving Findhorn, having met there more and more people involved in Rudolf Steiner's curative education impulse from Switzerland, I moved there, and began the Eurythmy Training in May 1979. I completed it in England in 1984, and went to live and work in Camphill Communities for children and adults with special needs, with my husband, (who was a child of pioneers of the Camphill movement and grew up in community) and had 2 children there. Altogether, we lived and worked in Camphill communities for 25 years, as 'House Parents'. In between these years, for 13 years, my husband worked as a class teacher in a Rudolf Steiner Waldorf School, where our children were educated. I did the Eurythmy Therapy training from 1998 to 2000, and worked as a Eurythmy Therapist and House Parent within the communities from 2000 to 2018. In 2016 I trained in Tone (music) Eurythmy Therapy, and am now teaching this privately. My experiences, in consciousness, social, spiritual, and practical trainings, in Findhorn were pivotal in my life. I had searched for all I found there, without knowing what I was searching for ...

List of publications: No, but I have privately typed out and distrbuted amongst his old pupils my Polish Art Teacher's (Marian Kratochwil's) courses on Colour, Form and the Human Nude, Composition, and Landscape.
