Happy Holidays Everyone!
I know it's been quite a while since I last posted some pics for you all, and I know how much you like them. But to be honest the weather of late has not made for any inspiring moments. Mostly wet and dreary.
But last week, the freezing fog descended upon Findhorn. Very cold, and treacherous for ...travel, but a wonderful opportunity for me to grab some pics for you all. The ice crystals quickly covered the world creating a beautiful winter wonderland.
And now the snow has started to fall up here, too, so expect some more pics later this week.
Season's blessings from Findhorn,
Michael

The Findhorn Foundation Day 4 of the Copenhagen Climate Talks. Though there seems to be disillusionment with the official processes happening at the Bella Centre, many are using the opportunity of having so many like minded individuals and groups together in one place to start some powerful grass roots movements, linking all the associated organisations and finding strength in unity.

The Findhorn Foundation Day 3 of Jonathan's Copenhagen Blog is now available for your viewing. I must say that I found this entry to be quite dark in it's tone. I know Jonathan to be a very upbeat fellow, so this took me a bit by surprise. But as Joanna Macy reminds us, we must go through the despair to come to the empowerment: It is always d...arkest before dawn. So every night at 7pm until the end of the conference at we are gathering to send love and light to all those in Copenhagen, please join with us wherever you are.

Findhorn turned 47 on 17 November and we had a wonderful celebration at Cluny Hill College (the Foundation bought Cluny on 17 November 1975 so it was a Cluny birthday too). Our management team prepared lunch for the co-workers and Dorothy Maclean was our guest of honour. ...

Hello All,
I know I said I would get these out Monday, but you'll have to forgive me because it's been another hectic week, and a productive one, too.
On Wednesday we did our annual brochure mail out. The Community Centre was packed and buzzing as we mailed out the beautiful new brochure to over 8000 places across the gl...obe. The traditional sticky buns were enjoyed by all when we finished up at tea break.
You can download the PDF of the new brochure at:
http://www.findhorn.org/brochure
or to request for one to be sent to you, email enquiries@findhorn.org
The annual report landed on my desk this afternoon, too. It looks great and reads very well, as last year was a very positive year. I am inspired by how well we are doing and how we are developing and growing into new areas. One example is that we are becoming a very useful resource for schools and universities researching sustainability on many levels.
Just yesterday I helped take 60 kids from a local primary school around The Park, teaching them about renewable energy and community living. They had a lot of fun and their teachers said it was invaluable for them to be able to show the kids the practice, and not just the theory.
And, of course, last Friday was the birthday celebration. The idea of having a group photo of the Findhorn Foundation transformed into the Management Team deciding to cook us all an amazing lunch up at Cluny. We all had a great time. Hope you enjoy the pics!
Blessings from Findhorn,
Michael

Greetings Fantastic Findhorn Fans,
I have been sitting on some of these photos for the last week, because I felt there was something missing.
Then on Tuesday, we decided to take our weekly attunement down at Randolph's Leap, a local beauty spot on the River Findhorn. It really is a very special place and so I grabbed som...e pics for you all, and now the album feels complete.
Life is going great here at Findhorn. We have our Caroline Myss conference starting this Saturday, so we are gearing up for a busy and fulfilling week.
And it's our Birthday next week, too. We date it from when Eileen and Peter brought their caravan to this site on November 17th, 1962. So we will be 47 on Tuesday! Much love and blessings to all that have been a part of keeping this place going strong. And that means all of you, too, so thank you all!
Many blessings to you all from Findhorn,
Michael
