Because of space limitations, we can give you only the
following brief outlines of our upcoming adventures, but
you can write to us for more details.
THE PLANTS AND GARDENS OF JAPAN
As we went to press, there were only a few openings left on
our springtime horticultural study tour of Japan (April 21
to May 12, 1983) with Dr. John L. Creech, former head of
the U.S. Arboretum in Washington, D.C. and one of the
Western world's top experts on Japanese gardening
practices. However, there's always the possibility of a
last-minute cancellation, so if you'd like to visit some of
the Orient's most exquisite gardens — at the
peak of their beauty — call us, at
704/693-0211, to find out whether any space is available.
(The all-inclusive cost, from San Francisco, is $3,795 ...
which would have to be paid right away.)
A RETURN TO FINDHORN AND FRIENDS
Last year's visit to the New Age Scottish community of
Findhorn, and the nearby island of Erraid (which a few
members caretake and farm), was so delightful that we
decided to repeat the experience ... from June I to 23,
1983.
This time, we'll fly from New York to Edinburgh, where
we'll spend two days sightseeing and recovering from jet
lag before proceeding by train to Findhorn, on Scotland's
northeast coast. There, we'll participate in an "Experience
Week" . . . working and playing with the community's
creative citizens, as we learn from their fresh approaches
to old problems.
Next, we'll travel across Scotland, past Loch
Ness, for a week's unstructured stay on Erraid (it's
located in the Inner Hebrides). You'll have plenty of time
to explore this rugged, splendid little island (which
served as a setting for some of Robert Louis Stevenson's
most delightful tales) ... to help the fine folks who live
there with the farming and fishing chores (if you feel so
moved) ... and to visit the neighboring island of Iona,
from which Christianity spread throughout Britain and
northern Europe.
