Tuning in to the intelligent consciousness within plants, animals, and other manifestations
Dorothy will share with us experiences and stories distilled from decades of communicating with devas and angels.
In 1962 Peter and Eileen Caddy, their three children and friend Dorothy Maclean were unemployed and living in a caravan park near the seaside village of Findhorn, Scotland. They decided to make ends meet by planting vegetables - no easy feat with dry sandy soil, and a cold and windswept location that enjoyed only twenty-six inches of rain a year.
Then Dorothy discovered she could contact the nature spirits or devas. They instructed her how to make the most of the poor soil, and over time sixty-five different vegetables, forty-two herbs and twenty-one types of fruit flourished in this soil. The forty pound cabbages, eight foot high delphiniums, and roses that bloomed in the snow, attracted horticultural experts near and far, and the internationally acclaimed spiritual community of Findhorn was born. When IBM research scientist Marcel Vogel visited Findhorn he commented, ‘This garden isn’t growing from the soil, only in the soil. The plants are fed by the consciousness of the community.’
As the community grew, Dorothy also attuned in to groups, organizations, cities and countries, and has for years been helping others to make similar attunements.
Now, Dorothy travels teaching attunement skills to people in many parts of the world. In times of social and political turbulence, participants will benefit from this opportunity to learn how to tune in to the inner aspects of our human experience. Dorothy's wit, humor, and informal approach spices up her precious gifts of spiritual wisdom.
Deva Translations by Dorothy Maclean
"This small planet too is turning into its place of rebirth. Each planet at its appointed time and place responds to, and gives form, itself a new outburst of life, and this is now your time. All around you creation reflects the Oneness of life but what of the human mind? What a marvel if it were aiding the great energy release of the time, playing its part in fullest expression." "You humans have a part to play in this [evolution of the planet] because you are the innovators of change....With full cooperation between our kingdoms, developments are beyond imagination. We will play our part. will you play yours?.... Our evolution and yours depends on it."
"This concept of Oneness is being stressed everywhere...we emphasize the practical side, the fact that your bodies are one with the environment and that you cannot abuse the Earth without harming yourselves. Oneness is not just on the high or inner levels where God is but is right here and now. Disturbing the pattern of the Earth, the balance of the seasons... is cutting through the ordained outworking of the One and ruining prospects for the future of man. We must repeat and repeat this, we cannot urge it strongly enough. The violence of the elements will be much more violent unless man picks up and acts on this truth [of Oneness]. Love all of life and so join up with it."

About DOROTHY MACLEAN 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dorothy Maclean was one of the founders of the Findhorn community in Scotland. Her contacts there with what she came to see as the devic or angelic realms that over-light all aspects of existence, helped its legendary gardens bloom on most unpromising soil.
Many of the messages from the devas were first published in a number of books and pamphlets from that community, some still in print. Dorothy's earlier autobiography, To Hear the Angels Sing, now republished, contains many of her communications with not only the essences of plants, but with minerals, animals and groups of humans too.
In her new book, Choices of Love, Lindisfarne Press, Dorothy talks in a more detailed way about her own inner practices and attunement to the Beloved. She gives suggestions for the reader's own practice, and for the first time in print, information she has received from the over-lighting presence's of cities and countries.
Born in Guelph, Ontario, Dorothy is still a Canadian, though living in Washington State.
