In 4.5years with the Foundation, I was always struck by older Ecovillage members' different -- not always positive -- remembrances of practical encounters with the founders' M.O.'s. But even saints[mfn]like me [/mfn] aren't perfect! This year I'm lumping (with all possible respect) my own understandings about them into one 'anniversary

Once again we're offered the opportunity to redirect energetic effort towards, in Findhorn terms, bringing Heaven to Earth*, consciously developing our relational beliefs, thoughts and

[ycd_countdown id=16765] It seems that more&more (mostly non-governmental) entities are becoming serious about using the above as their GhG-emission reference point. Happy New Year! Currently, the Earth is already about 1.1°C warmer than it was in the late 1800s, and emissions continue to rise. To keep global warming to no
