Finding My Soul: Five Years at the Findhorn Community

What was it like to be a member of the well-known Findhorn community in Scotland? In this memoir, Bonnie Blue describes her psychological and spiritual journey whilst there. In the intense crucible of community life, she details the lessons she learned, relevant for anyone on their own spiritual journey. Each chapter is a step forward in her becoming a more conscious and empowered woman. Her experiences take her through times of healing and awakenings that later inform her work as a psychotherapist. All of this she shares freely, her writing intensely personal and self-reflective.

Considered by many to be a mystery school of the twentieth century, we learn about the day-to-day life at Findhorn. This memoir can be seen as a primer for learning about and applying techniques commonly used in the community. Examples of inner guidance, manifestation, and cooperation with the nature kingdom weave through the author's vividly detailed journey to a more soul-infused life. Her dreams and the symbolism found in the everyday are linked to her transformative path. Many of her stories may seem fantastical, yet what is conveyed is the magic that is possible in a normal person's life if one only looks for it.

Each chapter ends with thoughtful commentary and suggests useful practices. She makes it clear anyone can create a more enriching relationship with their own soul, by looking within.
