Eileen Caddy MBE (26 August 1917 – 13 December 2006) was a British spiritual teacher and New Age writer, best known as one of the founders of the Findhorn Foundation community at the Findhorn Ecovillage, near the village of Findhorn, Moray Firth, in northeast Scotland. The commune she started in 1962 with husband Peter Caddy and friend Dorothy Maclean was an early New Age intentional community where thousands of people from dozens of countries have resided in years since.[1] One of the UK's largest alternative spiritual communities,[2] The Sunday Times referred to it, on Caddy's death, as "the Vatican of the New Age".[3]
