[edit] Local Relations

Local relations between the Findhorn Foundation and the village of Findhorn have occasionally foundered over inconsiderate use of the word 'Findhorn' to mean either the former or the associated Ecovillage. See for example Walker (1994) and also Findhorn (disambiguation).

The Findhorn Foundation itself has a policy of attempting to avoid inappropriate usage but this does not prevent both visitors to the Ecovillage and the media transgressing it. Further confusion occurs because many local people now use the term 'The Foundation', even when they are referring to Ecovillage organisations which have no formal connection with the Findhorn Foundation itself. Confused? You will be. Ben MacDui 19:08, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The other point of view on it all

I can't help but think (bearning in mind that Wikipedia is NPOV) that we should re-write a lot of this article. The basis behind the Foundation is that new age beliefs are based on sound ideas and concepts; clearly however, a lot of people think it is a load of hocum. There's also a large knowledge in the area that a huge number of the young American people that came over in the 60s & 70s were simply the children of rich parents who sent them abroad to avoid the Draft. I don't feel I could write a neutral piece on this though perhaps someone else should or could?
