Changes

In the late 1940s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Govan Sheena Govan] emerged as an informal [[spiritual]] teacher to a small circle that included her then-[[husband]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Caddy Peter Caddy], and Dorothy Maclean. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eileen_Caddy Eileen Caddy], as she became, who had a background in the Moral Rearmament movement, joined them in the early 1950s. The group's principal [[focus]] was [[dedication]] to the 'Christ Within' and following God's [[guidance]]. In 1957 Peter and Eileen Caddy were appointed to manage the Cluny Hill Hotel near Forres, Maclean joining them as the hotel's secretary. Though now separated from Sheena Govan, whose [[relationship]] with Eileen Caddy had deteriorated, they continued with the practices she taught.

In late 1962, following concerns by the hotel's owners over adverse publicity, Caddy's employment was terminated. He and Eileen settled in a [[caravan]] near the village of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Findhorn Findhorn]; in early 1963 an annexe was built so that Dorothy Maclean could live close to the Caddy family. Eileen Caddy's direct [[relationship]] with [[God]], began with an [[experience]] in Glastonbury where she heard a voice say "Be Still and Know that I am God". Peter Caddy followed "an [[intuitive]] [[spontaneous]] inner knowing" and had many other [[influences]] from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theosophy theosophy] to the moral re-armament movement from which he [[developed]] [[methods]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_thinking positive thinking] and other [[methods]] he had learned in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosicrucian_Order_Crotona_Fellowship Rosicrucian Order Crotona Fellowship]. Dorothy Maclean initially followed practices from the Sufi group centered on the teachings of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazrat_Inayat_Khan Hazrat Inayat Khan] and from this developed her contact with the [[divine]] to focus upon [[communication]] with 'nature spirits' which she named as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deva_(New_Age) devas]. Peter told her that these contacts should be made useful for the growing of [[food]] which was supplementing their income (the [[family]] at this point being entirely [[supported]] by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_benefit Family Allowance]). The Caddy's credited the garden's [[success]] of producing "exceptionally large vegetables" – on these practices. More conventional [[explanations]] have been suggested by locals from outside the [[community]] who feel that the garden's successes can be [[explained]] by the unique microclimate of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moray Moray] or the substantial amounts of horse manure donated by a local farmer.
