The New Story is a vision of a world in which humanity is a benign and cooperative presence within the planetary community of all life and not a selfish, disruptive, and destructive one. It’s a vision which many people have held and even practiced over the millennia. It’s a vision that my own subtle colleagues—a varied collection of non-physical individuals and beings with whom I have been working for over sixty years—have been promoting and thus one that has guided my own life. Their version of … Continue reading

An Epic Opportunity—If We Get Our Story Right For the new to emerge, the old must give way. By shutting down the global economy for everyone everywhere, COVID-19 reminds us that we are one people with a common future. To underscore its point, it lays bare for all to see the fatal flaws of an economic system that exploits the most essential—the care takers—to benefit the predators most of us best do without. The time is at hand for a story that reminds us who we are, what we truly want, and … Continue reading

The world has been turned upside down these past ten months and much of what we took for granted and looked to for security and reassurance has crumbled in front of our eyes. We find ourselves standing at a critical juncture in human history, facing a stark … Continue reading

It seems very clear that we are arriving at the end of an era, an era in which humanity was lulled by the illusion that we were living in a world of boundless natural resources in an environment we could exploit without limit and dump our waste just about anywhere except in the neighbour’s yard. In my first economics course at the University of Bern in 1960, dear professor Sieber described nature as “freie güter” - free goods, i.e. up for grabs. A period in which the super rich have been getting … Continue reading

This Summer here on the California coast brought us into a primal landscape, wildfires raging for weeks, sparked by a dry lightning storm. After sheltering-in-place for months due to the pandemic, we had to shelter also from fire and smoke, hardly daring to open a window, the sun rising red, ashes falling. Elsewhere in the country cities burned, as peaceful protests against racial injustice, police brutality and killings, turned violent with armed vigilantes on the streets; all further signs of … Continue reading

As part of our Blog Series, Living the New Story at the Turning of the Year, Mattie Porte interviews Daniel Christian Wahl (Findhorn Foundation Fellow, catalyst of bioregional regeneration for planetary health, and author of 'Designing Regenerative Cultures').... What are the key lessons of this past year: socially, politically, ecologically and spiritually? Socially, I realised how inadequate communication via technology is compared to being in the embodied presence of another human being or … Continue reading

Dear Beloved Findhorn New Story Community, May this find you safe, healthy, and centred in this time of transition from darkness into the promise held within the return of the light. I am writing to you now as an American, reflecting on what it has been like to be in America in these tumultuous times, especially 2020. I am sure that those of you who are not in America, maybe most of you, have been looking on with various degrees of curiosity, confusion, fear, dread, horror, anticipation, and … Continue reading
