While working as Archivist to the Findhorn Foundation I discovered there was little information regarding the backgrounds of the founders and their teachers. I searched for material on the web and in print by or about the spiritual directors that each had followed.
Who was Aureolis? What was MRA? And other questions. The results of those researches are in this extensive collection of biographies, including some of the figures who were attracted to the community in its beginnings in the 1960s.
I have included some of the exchanges between Eileen and Liebie Pugh as Liebie was an important figure in the mid-60s encouraging the development of the garden. This was at a time when Eileen was looking for a spiritual teacher to replace Sheena. Several of the people involved with Liebie’s Universal Link moved to Findhorn following her death in 1966.
Other characters include Bruce MacManaway, Wellesley Tudor Pole, who founded the Chalice Well in Glastonbury, Richard St Barbe-Baker, founder of the Men of the Trees, as well as those more closely associated with the Findhorn community and Foundation.
It is by no means an exhaustive study but gives something of the background to the lives which led to this wonderful co-operation between the kingdoms, even, as Dorothy tells us, including the creation of a new type of angel.
