Talk:Findhorn Foundation

message: In 1999 one of the foundation's long-term members, Verity Linn, died of exposure on a Scottish mountain while following the teachings of the Australian guru Jasmuheen, who teaches that human beings can "live on light" alone.
: Exactly. "living from light" is the teachings of the Australian guru Jasmuheen, neither Jasmuheen nor her teachings are part of the community. Simply Mrs. Linn was coincidentally a member of the community and a follower of these teachings. The community consists of people of different beliefs, and if one member decides to make an experience of exposure on a Scottish mountain, it shouldn't be pointed out in this umbigious way. Readers might get the impression, that these teachings are part of the Findhorn lifestyle. So I suggest to remove this point. --Landover(g) (talk) 03:37, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Since no disagreement, and since the citations did not even mention Findhorn, I've deleted it. Also deleted the mention on Grof's holotropic breathwork, as that is about Grof, not Findhorn, and it didn't even have a checkable citation. Softlavender (talk) 08:39, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Death of a member

message: OK, I have reverted the doubtful changes as discussed so we have an understandable place to begin. All are welcome to collaborate in what will be quite a large task to update the article, and in particular to check facts and supply inline citations for everything, please.
:I have been wondering too about Landover's material which seemed a sketch of the last 50 years. Now this could be a big section.  Should it have its own page? The History of FF?  Findhorn Ecovillage has a page and there is extensive information there about its evolution.  Thus making the main page an overview of initial history, founders and different sections? This is more about the structure of the page.  A long history would be too much, as the Landover material revealed.  But maybe this be worked up independently and then be summarised for main page. The history could then give the evolution of the various themes and matters relevant for a summary on main page. Davdevalle (talk) 15:54, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes this is a good start as then we can work out how to cite what is said in the article. Davdevalle (talk) 15:54, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

text: That is a good suggestion. I will think about the different titles for the sub-sections. Davdevalle (talk) 15:54, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Reworking the article

message: Should we have sections of the references for, say, Practical books (gardening, green housebuilding etc); Books on FF itself; ...? Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:53, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Split booklist into subsections?

message: "its residents have the lowest recorded ecological footprint of any community in the industrialised or the developed world, and also half of the UK average."
Is a very specific claim to make that should probably be supported by more than a link to a news paper article. The link is now broken and a search for the "Sunday Herald Findhorn footprint" actually turns up an article from a year earlier
http://www.heraldscotland.com/findhorn-eco-footprint-is-world-s-smallest-1.827780
The study was carried out by 
Sustainable Development Research Centre in Forres - which has no gone
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_Development_Research_Centre
I can't find the study on line but it should be linked to directly.
Best course of action would probably be to replace this claim with a general statement that the intention is to live with a small footprint and to link to ecovilliage entry. Findhorn_Ecovillage  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.32.15 (talk) 19:13, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
