I came to Findhorn for the first time in 2010 for Experience Week and stayed for almost two years until the beginning of 2012. In addition to going through the usual Foundation programmes and graduating with the LEAP program, I completed a four-week astroshamanic training with Franco Santoro. I had the pleasure to work in different work departments like Cluny Homecare, Cluny Garden, Park Homecare, Park Garden and Cullerne Gardens.

Having had the seed of my inner soul-connection to Findhorn planted in me as a teenager when I read about Eileen, Peter and Dorothy communicating and collaborating with angels and devas in their caravan to create their legendary garden in co-creation with nature, my expectation was not disappointed when I came to Findhorn in 2010 into an extremely creative, dynamic, vibrant and joyful community.

In addition to the highly qualified programmes and workshops I attended, it was the encounters with like-minded people with whom I was able to engage in intensive exchange and contact. This concentration of kindred spirits and soul mates was a blessing, an invaluable gift in my life from which I still benefit today. My self-confidence and self-worth got a big boost and made me strong for the challenges that mercilessly awaited me when I left the Community and went back to my hometown of Berlin.

The pain I felt as the unfolding of events led to the dissolution of the Foundation activated me to rummage through my photo archive and sort the visual memories and eventually compile them into a book.

Even if at this moment in time it can only come to an e-book, I am extremely grateful that the spirit of Findhorn has guided me to create a sequel of sorts to the 1980 published book “Faces Of Findhorn – Images of a Planetary Family” and David Earl Platts’ “Divinely Ordinary Divinely Human” (published in 1999).

In the hope that the pictures will trigger as many memories, gratitude, hope and confidence in those who can view them here, as the pictures have triggered in me during the compilation, I thank all those who stood by my side during the time I spent in Findhorn and made this time unforgettable for me and who helped to make this book available for others.

May we be pioneers of the new Earth – may we all live to see the dawn of the new era: the golden age on planet Earth!
