Eileen Caddy
Eileen Caddy MBE (26 August 1917 – 13 December 2006) was a spiritual teacher and new age author, 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 which she started in 1962 with her second husband, Peter Caddy, and Dorothy Maclean was an early New Age intentional community; it has been home to over 400 residents and thousands of visitors from over 40 countries,〔(The spiritual and eco-community has been .. ) ''BBC News'', 31 December 2003.〕 and is one of the UK's largest alternative spiritual communities,〔(One of the founders of an international spiritual community and ecovillage near Forres has died ) ''BBC News, 18 December 2006.〕 nicknamed "the Vatican of the New Age".〔("Unconventional spiritualist who helped to found Findhorn, the 'Vatican of the New Aage', in northeast Scotland" ), ''The Times'', 20 December 2006.〕
==Early life==
She was born Eileen Marion Jessop in Alexandria, Egypt, the second of four children of Albert Jessop, an Irishman, and the director of Barclays Bank DCO, her mother Muriel was English. At six she was sent to school in Ireland, where she lodged with an aunt, and returned to Egypt in the holidays.〔(Eileen Caddy ) ''The Daily Telegraph'', 19 December 2006.〕 When she was 16, her father died in Egypt of peritonitis and her family moved back to England, though tragedy struck again, when two years later her mother too died of meningitis. Thereafter she was educated at a domestic college, and later bought and ran a pub at an RAF base in Oxfordshire, with her brother for four years.
Soon she met an RAF officer, Squadron Leader Andrew Combe, whom she married in 1939, just months before the beginning of the Second World War; subsequently she travelled to London and America with him, and lastly to Iraq,〔(Chapter 3 – The Nameless One:Small groups of the nuclear age ) ''Children of the New Age: A History of Spiritual Practices'', by Steven Sutcliffe. Routledge, 2003. ISBN 0-415-24299-1. ''Page 56-58''.〕 and had a son and four daughters. Combe was a follower of the group called Moral Rearmament (MRA), and insisted that his wife follow the traditions of the group, which included joining the group's "quiet times", during which they would listen for divine guidance. Though diffident at the time towards the practices which she found restrictive, she later acknowledged the importance of her early attunement to "quiet times" and "listening to inner guidance", regarding it as an important milestone on her spiritual journey.〔
