Then we took turns reading the following article by David Spangler, posted on his blog. David Spangler was a founding member of the Findborn Foundation, a Scottich charitable trust which formed one of the largest communes in Britain which was started in the 1970s to attempt as a community to practice spirituality in every day life. This was a group of people who believed that plant growth could be influenced by earth consciousness. They practiced organic gardening and positive thinking methods applied to all forms of daily life. The ecovillage still associated with this Foundation has approximately 3000 people living and working there from all over the world. The Foundation supports many educational opportunities on site and conferences. The Findhorn Ecovillage is intended to be a tangible demonstration of the links between the spiritual, social, ecological, and economic aspects of life.
