Brief description
From a modest, three-person group, the Findhorn Foundation developed into one of the first eco-villages in the world in 1962. Today, over 400 people of all ages and social backgrounds live in the north of Scotland. Value is placed on inspired action accompanied by a deep inner contact with a wisdom that is inherent in every human being. After almost 50 years, Findhorn offers the opportunity to rediscover community. Like the founders Eileen and Peter Caddy as well as Dorothy McLean, people living in the community are still experimenting with sustainability , permaculture and spiritual contexts and thus keep the proverbial magic of Findhorn alive. You feel part of the globalized world and urge you to rethink and act.
The documentation Follow the rainbow to Findhorn draws a colorful cross-section of community life. She wants to give impetus and show ways how people deal with change and crises. Above all, however, it wants to awaken hope and testify that there are more forward-looking ways of life that are more sustainable than the well-known model of life.
Neale Donald Walsch , the bestselling author of “ Conversations with God ” describes Findhorn as a place to ask vital questions of life. At the same time, however - according to Walsch - the place also demands stepping out of the comfort zone of everyday life and encountering the unknown. "Findhorn brings the human mind the ability to fly," he explains literally.
Background and origin
Flooded by natural disasters and horror news and softened by the entertainment media, the western world is stumbling through a crisis that is driving more and more EU states to the brink of national bankruptcy. In 2008, the filmmaker set out on a pilgrimage in a camper. The journey across Europe takes 4 ½ months. What drives him is the question of whether there is a way out of the self-destructive trance of the western world.
