Living Routes: Findhorn -- Fall 2003

September 10, 2003

It's been an intense couple of days (have I overstated this yet?). We're in the middle of our "second" Experience Week.

Now, I want to connect with more young people who have had experience with eco-villages or holistic educational practices. It would be good to keep a current network of young people who are interested in this work or who have been part of a Living Routes program. This website is...

Welcome to the first Findhorn weblog!

Welcome to the first weblog for the Findhorn Community Semester! A weblog, or "blog" for short, is a sort of online diary that we can collectively create and share with others. As this is the first time doing this, it is an experiment and we're very excited to see how they develop. We hope that the blogs will provide a forum for you to:
