Transition Culture has moved
I no longer blog on this site. You can now find me, my general blogs, and the work I am doing researching my forthcoming book on imagination, on my new blog.

Last night was so sound, first there was dancing till about 10 and then I went to the hot tub for two and a bit hours, LUSH! By the way the hot tub is outdoors so it was pretty sweet, your body is boiling and you head is in the falling snow…. So cool.
In the session after supper, Joanna gave a clear and passionate explanation of the Great Turning, and what she means by the term. You can read another, more detailed account of this session on the conference’s official blog.
We spoke before about the importance of gratitude. I want to speak now of the importance of gratitude for what is happening in our world today. In Paul Hawken’s ‘Blessed Unrest’ he describes this movement as being the largest social movement in history. It is not a movement reported in the corporate controlled mainstream media. It is momentous. It is a revolution.
The second day of the conference began with Dorothy McLean, one of the founders of Findhorn, who describes herself as a ‘modern mystic’, talking about the evolution of Findhorn and her work communicating with Nature. You can read more about that here. This was followed by a quiet mindful walk outside, in the freezing wind, which was very calming and peaceful, although it benefited greatly from the kindness of the lady who gave me a hat.
Today started with me being roughly awakened by Rob (my dad), I did not get up, of course, instead I rolled over and grunted with anguish at the outrage at the outrage of being awoken at such hours (8am!!). After I was turned out of my bed I stumbled into the bathroom for a shower, going in just a towel was a bad idea for the shower did not work, and therefore I had parade into the breakfast room half naked, with all the guests in it! They told me I had to press a button just outside the bathroom, outside the bathroom, what do they possibly gain from that?
This blog will come out every day to inform you all about my trip at Findhorn (an eco village jobby in Scotland).
