Experience in the community affected your work in the world: I was first connected to the Heart of the Findhorn Foundation in 1980. I had no intention to engage while I thought I would care for my almost 1 year old daughter while my wife, at the time would do Experience week. Within three hours of the Experience week starting I was invited by the group to join with my daughter. She was an angel throughout. I too felt held by angels and had a wonderful experience of love and caring and very interesting people. After leaving that time we came back to stay, living outwith the Foundation with three children in 1987. My experience of Orientation and working with people was a real change for me, coming from the practical arena of medicine. Basically I grew emotionally and spiritually and felt a deep connection with all of the people around me.
