>>Findhorn, I think.

----------------------------------------------------

Here's a little more on Findhorn from Richard Holeton's
excellent sorta' poem 'Streleski at Findhorn on Acid'

Findhorn. [bf] A New Age community on the Moray Firth in Scotland
established in 1962 by Peter and Eileen Caddy and Dorothy Maclean in a
trailer park near the fishing village of Findhorn.  Anecdotal accounts of
the 1960s and 1970s told of remarkable gardens producing 40-pound cabbages,
60-pound broccoli plants, 8-foot delphiniums, and roses blooming in nothing
but sand and snow.  Love, and communication with Nature Spirits, were
credited with the horticultural miracles.  The community attracted
spiritual seekers from all over the world.  The Findhorn Foundation
promotes values of harmony, spirituality, ecology, and community building
summed up by the inspiration, "Work is love in action."  According to
former Findhorn resident David Spangler, "You are either manufacturing
darkness through your own inner states of anxiety and fear and separation,
or you are creating light and revelation through your abandonment of those
past states and your attunement to new ones."

Hope this helps,
Dan
