ABSTRACT
This chapter offers a case study that can be seen as specific to New Age cultures in the UK. It explores the ways in which sexualities and spiritualities at Findhorn are created, negotiated, intertwined, segregated and discussed. The chapter contextualises Findhorn's history and methods, and examines the contradictions of locating divinity within the self. It explores the supposed freedoms created by the absence of external sexual morality located in a transcendent deity. The chapter also explores how the intertwining of sexuality and spirituality often result in a rejection of labels, segregation and exclusive identities based on sexuality alone. It examines the limits of linking alternative sexual practices and spirituality, leading to a discussion of the tense creation of lesbian and gay space at Findhorn. The chapter investigates individuality and collectivities at the site, offering insights into the complexity of discussing sexual and spiritual practices and lives.
