About Roger DOUDNA
Idealistic philosopher who has tried to 'change the world' by living at, and contributing to, the Findhorn Community and its work.
Came to the Findhorn Foundation Community: November 5th 1974
Left the Findhorn Foundation Community: I had 'sabbaticals' in 1984, 1992 and 2000, returning thereafter.
Areas of involvement with the Findhorn Foundation Community: education, maintenance, 'out breath', publications, U Hall, garden, core group, conferences, Fellows, grants, PET, Heavenly Hot Tub
Community leadership: 'Focaliser' of Ed Branch -one year, Outbreath- one year, Conferences - 10 times, PET - Chair - 12 years, Hot Tub - 25 years.
Experience in the community affected your work in the world: My work in the larger world has been primarily through the Findhorn Foundation Fellowship - a group of both ex-members and those individuals who live in the world and work with an ethos in 'sympathetic resonance' with our own. It primarily involves keeping them abreast of what's happening here, and vice versa. As my bio elsewhere indicates, I've also done stints working with Findhorn Fellow Barbara Marx Hubbard in 1984 when she ran for Vice President of the USA, and as a 'Program Director' for the New York Open Centre in 1992.
List of publications: PhD dissertation - 'The Justification of Poetry', several articles over the years in Findhorn publications, the first of which in 1975 was called 'Life on the Spearhead'.
