Trustees and Finale
Around this time [1978], Ross Stewart invited me to join the Trustees group. Aged thirty, I was the youngest ever member of the group, and I felt privileged to sit in on meetings with an eminent and erudite cast of characters.
The Cauldron of Cluny
Working in Cluny kitchen was a transformative experience, week on week, focusing on food in an emotional cauldron.
A Droplet in the Ocean of the Divine
Something had landed inside me and was taking root, however tenuously at times. This was a clear sense that I was not just an accident, a blip in the cosmic story, but in the words of dear Sir George Trevelyan: “A droplet in the ocean of the Divine”
Caddy’s Mob
The Findhorn locals referred to the community as “Caddy’s Mob”, or the “Cabbage Patch”. But as I drove up the road from Kinloss, the horizon was dominated by a Wood Henge-like structure—a pentangle with wooden pillars linked by a deep ring beam.
Flight of the Tiger Moth (2012)
This delightful aerial adventure gives some beautiful views of the Moray Firth coastline and is a wonderful tribute to the late Richard Adams.

Remembering the Old CC
Joyful teamwork sending out Foundation brochures worldwide, a volunteer stint that changed a life, the evocative smell of the CC and the abundance of living together.
The MAC as a Temporary Community Centre
Really, what we need as a community centre is just somewhere that's warm and undercover, with nice comfortable chairs — especially for the winter nights — somewhere we can come to play cards, watch films or just all gather.
Memories of the Community Centre
It was just such a great place to go at any time of day — you could pretty much always find someone there to connect with.
Functions of the Community Centre
It was like an extended family and a close-knit community. It was so intimate because everyone knew each other so well. Looking back, it was extraordinary that we could get warm meals twice a day just for doing KP once a week!
Reflections on the Sanctuary Fire
For me, the relief is still quite big that only these two buildings burned down. I always felt the energy was still there; it just needed a new outer form.
