[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?
- I think those issues belong on pages to do with the new age beliefs themselves; we need only assert here that these are beliefs rather than facts, which I think has been done fairly well. Jaz Mcdougall 15:59, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 'Peter left Eileen'
I removed this part of the sentence as someone's personal affairs don;t seem relevant, and the syntax breaks the next sentence, which starts 'Eileen remained'. Via strass 13:05, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Beliefs in UFO's in early history of the community
.
Why has there been no mention of the issue of Caddy believing that they were in communication with extraterristrials at the start of the community?--Redblossom 21:58, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
