Findhorn Ecovillage is one of the most comprehensively developed ecovillages anywhere, which is why we’ve been called ‘the mother of all ecovillages’. We have evolved a holistic, integrated community model incorporating many ecological, social, cultural, economic and spiritual elements, such as numerous shared buildings including a Community Centre that serves meals twice a day; a performing arts centre and visual arts centre; eco-housing of many different types (for example — attached, … Continue reading
Others have said this before but it is worth a reminder: When you go out and see the empty streets, the empty stadiums, the empty train platforms, don't say to yourself, "It looks like the end of the world." What you're seeing is love in action. What you're seeing, in that negative space, is how much we do care for each other, for our grandparents, for our immuno-compromised brothers and sisters for people we will never meet. People will lose jobs over this. Some will lose their … Continue reading
Global Days of Unity is a love-in-action invitation for everyone to come together on the 3rd weekend of each month, to amplify the energetic field of collective consciousness using the vibrations of love, peace, and joy. When one person allows love to radiate from within, the vibration of love in the world increases. Just as a single stone tossed into a lake causes the water to rise ever so slightly, thousands of stones can cause a lake to overflow. So like those stones, we’ll come together in … Watch video
"Speaking at the inauguration of the Berlin Extinction Rebellion camp last October, I hazarded a guess about what the movement is really about. What we really want, I said, is for humanity to hold nature sacred again. What we want is to move from a society of domination to one of participation, from conquest to co-creation, from extraction to regeneration, from harm to healing, and from separation to love. And we want to enact this transition in all our relations: ecological, economic, … Continue reading
For over 60 years I belonged to forms of organized religion. These still play a useful role for some individuals who need to have verbal formulations of truths and liturgical and cultural forms that reassure and comfort. However, we live in a world where increasingly everything is challenged and each one is called to define what rings true and is meaningful to them, considering the collapse of traditional authorities, whether it be in the field of spirituality or ethics, health, diet or … Continue reading

Life is a landscape of love and love is the celebration of life. Love is the means and love is the end. Love is our way and it is our destination. There is no way to love: love is the way and love is the goal. Love is a way of being. Love is a way of life. When we are in love we are in love all the time. We are in love every moment. The moment we wake up, we fall in love with each other and with life itself. Falling in love is not a one day event, it is an everyday event. Love never ends. Love … Continue reading

Andrea writes: "I just listened to Roger’s interview with Carolyn Myss, and realized that your theme for these talks, Love in Action, is precisely the name of the flower essence combination I made for this year. Each year, I make a new combination (from my Raven Essences) to support the universal factors at play in the upcoming cycle. Here’s a link to a … Watch video
