Arrival
Suddenly, I’m on my way to Scotland. A professional
development grant awarded to me by the Ford
Foundation through Alternate ROOTS on December 28,
2005 makes this journey possible. I manage my travel
arrangements and depart from Atlanta via British
Airways on January 4th, 2006.
The next morning Franco Santoro appears at the
Inverness airport to drive me the 30 additional
miles to Cluny Hill College. I’m here at Franco’s
invitation. He’s a faculty member and an
international workshop facilitator for the
world-famous and United Nations recognized Center
for Spiritual Education and Planetary Transformation
called the Findhorn Foundation.
Franco and I met in July 2004 when I toured mask
theatre performances and workshops to Village Halls
in the Scottish Highlands and Islands

“January in
Scotland,” I think. Had I packed enough warm
clothes to survive fourteen days in a place
only a stone’s throw from the Scottish
Highlands? I’d read signs when on tour in
2004 that warned the roads would be closed
during the winter until April due to ice and
snow. I discover our destination - located
in the Moray Firth - is sometimes called
“The Riviera of the North” because it has a
climate moderated by two protective mountain
ranges and the Gulf Stream.
