Updated to showcase color photographs, this spiritual classic presents the history and philosophy of Scotland’s Findhorn Community. Findhorn was founded more than 40 years ago in far northeast Scotland on windswept and barren sand dunes that happened to sprout a miraculous garden. Plants, flowers, trees, and organic vegetables of enormous sizes began to grow in a small plot around the 30-foot caravan trailer inhabited by three adults and three children living on meager unemployment benefits. Guidance by God and absolute faith in the art of manifestation led the occupants to this unlikely locale to create a magnetic center that would draw people from all over the world. Their discovery of how to contact and cooperate with the nature spirits and devas that made the garden possible sparked a phenomenon that continues today, as Findhorn has grown into a thriving village housing hundreds of people from all over the world and an internationally recognized spiritual-learning center.

"The Findhorn Foundation, one of the first successful 'new age' communities of present times, was founded in 1962 and continues to be an important part of a world-wide movement for spiritual transformation. What is it like to live in the Findhorn Community today? What is the spiritual inspiration behind its existence and how has it changed and evolved over the years? How is it organised and managed? What kind of people join it, and why--and what changes do they go through? In this book Carol Riddell covers all this and more, including the community's development from its early patriarchal basis to its first hesitant steps into 'spiritual democracy', its evolving relationship with the earth and the environment, and the new businesses and independent projects springing up around it. She both sets the Findhorn Community it its current global context and shows how the process of creating a contemporary spiritual identity can unfold day by day through the ordinary activities of people living and working together." -- Back cover

It is widely understood that good, affordable eco-housing needs to be at the heart of any attempt to mitigate or adapt to climate change. This is the first book to comprehensively explore eco-housing from a geographical, social and political perspective. It starts from the premise that we already know how to build good eco-houses and we already have the technology to retrofit existing housing. Despite this, relatively few eco-houses are being built. Featuring over thirty case studies of eco-housing in Britain, Spain, Thailand, Argentina and the United States, Eco-Homes examines the ways in which radical changes to our houses – such as making them more temporary, using natural materials, or relying on manual heating and ventilation systems – require changes in how we live. As such, it argues, it is not lack of technology or political will that is holding us back from responding to climate change, but deep-rooted cultural and social understandings of our way of life and what we expect our houses to do for us.
