Hearts&minds
A movie[mfn]"RFK," a 2002 tv bio-pic https://youtu.be/VbHemHty-ck[/mfn] about Robert F. Kennedy after his brother's sad demise, brought home some of the myriad possible, valid concepts for achieving happiness. That universal -- not just American -- "Pursuit of Happiness" was also the (personal) goal of each of the Findhorn Founders, Eileen
Net0.30 study Grant
Great news about the Park Ecovillage, FindhornNet0.30 study and PETs 2021 National Lottery Grant application. Here's the press release: [vertical-spacer] Great news, but stuff doesn't stop there-- ie. with other people offering a climate action smorgasbord for you not to pick and choose from... Remember Gandhi's statement about "Happiness
Just do it, RIGHT?!
We've been talking about the New Normal since the first statistical decreases in this pandemic's infections/hospitalisations/deaths. "Enough talking," say I. Surely for Findhorn Ecovillagers and their supporters the "New Normal" can't really be called cutting edge any more... Heck, if you're having difficulty doing the New Normal[mfn] I'm thinking of
Feeling potential
Charles Eisenstein's essay, The Coronation, published March 2020, has been mentioned in blogs here before.[mfn]https://parkecovillagetrust.co.uk/search/Coronation/[/mfn] I read it at the end of last year and later, critiques from both sides of the aisle too. Rising (re?)infection figures post 2021-summer-holidays, challenged me to return to it, and to upload a link

Agile curves
Summer's here, yaay! Possibly less "yaay!" if you're worried about it being bikini/speedo time again... Putting it rather plastically: so above so below ; so within so without ; so mind so matter ; &c. What we put in we get out... But look on the bright side: in spirit terms we
co-Founder’s birthday
Love in action by Lis Johnson, Star of the Sea College, Melbourne, Australia On 20th March Peter Caddy would have become 104 years old. The spring equinox this year. He followed "an intuitive spontaneous inner knowing" and had many other influences. He developed his practical positive-thinking, and other methods he
A fresh vision for the world
11February is Park Ecovillage Trust's 12th birthday! And on the eve of this auspicious day I just read a short article (+-4 minutes' read) by Thomas Hübl about re-affirming the need for real=authentic relationships with all our fellow planet-dwellers (of all ' kingdoms'[mfn]http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/virtualmuseum/content/fivekingdoms.html[/mfn]). Trying to remain on the middle path:
Foundations
Thank you lockdown! Strange but true, everyone I hear from or read these days is (again) thanking God/Spirit/&c. for the time that has now become available for quality investment in people and things usually found lower down our to-do-lists. "As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit,
Saying grace
One of PET's directors sent me an email last month. To it was appended some fascinating information re. the food chain and its impact on Life on Earth.Resonating thoughts touched on the themes of 'interrelatedness' and 'fasting as a biological form of spiritual grace.'[mfn]This last was interesting as I've been
Not another “change” blog
Healthy & Joyful greetings to you! I'd like to share the following (and a video) from a blog[mfn]Lorian Association[/mfn] I receive: A new humanity is being born. After ten thousand years of a domination system, we are moving inexorably toward a global society built on love. As Charles Eisenstein puts
Crisis & social change
I read an interesting article today on the subject of 危机 or Wéijī, which we Westerners like to translate as "crisis" and "opportunity." In his conclusion Govert van Ginkel confronts us with some pretty fundamental questions — not about the 'how' of the current crisis[mfn]this is the easy, red-herring thought
