A few of my Bullet Takeaways
Appreciation, Gratefulness; a powerful talk at a wonderful Church
We weren't able to get the Power Point up and running but Sarah is such a wonderful story-teller it wasn't needed. In fact, it may have actually detracted from the beautiful imagery she painted for our mind's eye.
A few bullets;
- Our Hero's Journey that we are all on
- What makes people well, what creates health
- What the Walrus Knows, animal totems; animals that cross our paths may have messages for us
- Make your intention known to the Universe and speak your desires into reality
I am, you are the Walrus, I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob...

Living in Partnership with Nature: Findhorn & Perelandra
Introduction:
Communication with nature is not new. Certainly there are many profound ways Humans live in balance with the Earth and each other. This needs to be deeply recognized before the message in these projects take us into yet another direction. Particularly we can honor our global Indigenous cultures, going back through time, which still carry reverent and deep communion with the natural world. All the while heavy abuse of our planet by dominant powers has brought us global crisis. To respond in a meaningful way is the quest for many of us. With this calling, here are TWO RELATED PROJECTS, that emerged a bit over 50 years ago, and both are still thriving!
#ONE / 1960s : F I N D H O R N : is on the north coast of Scotland. It’s the birthing place.

Now about the booklist:
That you all can start with as you wish. I started re-reading it 4 months ago. I felt called back, since finding them in the early 90s. Yes I treasured their basic message back then. I’ve used the MAP book regularly through the years. Yet suddenly I was On Fire to go deeper, to cross-reference between books and collect a lending library! This video introduces my version of the story, for our dear long-standing interfaith community, mid-July 2019.
Here are my 5 books.. in the order I read them :
The Magic of Findhorn.
Paul Hawken. 1975.
Out of print yet well worth the read. Slowly the story unfolds through the lives of 4 key people, who were precisely prepared for decades.. to participate in birthing this unlikely community in Scotland. Astonishing!
Behaving as if the God in All Life Mattered.
Machaelle Small Wright. 1983. 1987. 1997.
Again there are remarkable life circumstances that seed the personal growth for the author. she reads 2 Findhorn books and they inspire her accelerated life path. The first half of the book gives her background.. and then Whoosh! We are immersed in startling stories and significant how-to instructions for co-creating with Nature. She teaches us about her gardens, plus how we can engage Nature’s partnership in our relationships, meetings, projects of all kinds.. for smoother and surprisingly creative results. It’s exciting!
Encounters with Nature Spirits.
Co-creating with the Elemental Kingdom.
R. Ogilvie Crombie. 2009. 2018.
This was a new book I added as I immersed in the first 2.. This wise calm man was truly the elder of Findhorn. “Roc” brings a crucial connection to the community, through his capacity to calmly, wisely connect with Pan and the Elementals. He was in his mid-60s when these conscious relationships began for him, though his life had already deeply prepared him; by his mid-70s he had passed on. Meeting him through these books has been a lesson in warmth, scholarship and gravity.
The Findhorn Garden.
Pioneering a New Vision of Man and Nature in Cooperation.
by The Findhorn Community. 1975.
I see this as a follow-up companion to The Magic.. and Encounters.. I like the order I read them in. see how it works out for you, if this is a journey you take! we are given more day-to-day details, yet without some of the awesome dramatic expanse of the whole story. Cross-referencing all 3 Findhorn books was worth every story I read another repetition of. :); each has its place.
MAP. The Co-Creative White Brotherhood Medical Assistance Program.
Michaelle Small Wright. 1990. 1994.
How we can participate with Nature in personal healing for physical and mental/emotional circumstances. I have used this system for myself over all these years and been very grateful. However in re-visiting the book, I’m inspired now to be more diligent! The opportunities are endless.
A note on ordering these books :
https://www.perelandra-ltd.com/Books-eBooks-C3.aspx
Whenever possible, I have ordered PERELANDRA BOOKS from their own website. I’ve never seen a big difference in price between online sellers and direct from them. The books really seem to hold their value. So see what works for you.
That’s all! :) It’s an amazing message, with assistance available on the Perelandra phone lines. We plan to have an occasional Sharing Circle in Duluth and possibly online. Please use the “CONTACT” page to let us know you’re interested or connect with me directly.
Peace to each of you..
