[[Eileen Caddy]], as she became, who had a background in the [[Moral Rearmament]] (MRA) movement, joined them in the early 1950s. The group's principal focus was dedication to the 'Christ Within' and following God's guidance.<ref>In Perfect Timing: Memoirs of a Man for the New Millennium Peter Caddy 1994</ref> In 1957 Peter and Eileen Caddy were appointed to manage the [[Cluny Hill]] Hotel near [[Forres]], Maclean joining them as the hotel's secretary.

He and Eileen settled in a [[travel trailer|caravan]] near the village of [[Findhorn]]; an annex was built in early 1963, so that Maclean could live close to the Caddy family. Eileen Caddy's direct relationship with God began with an experience in [[Glastonbury]], where she recorded that she heard a voice say "Be Still and Know that I am God". Peter Caddy followed "an intuitive spontaneous inner knowing" and was influenced by [[Theosophy (Blavatskian)|theosophy]] and MRA, from which he developed methods of [[Optimism|positive thinking]] and other methods he had learned in the [[Rosicrucian Order Crotona Fellowship]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Caddy |first=Peter |title=In Perfect Timing |year=1996 |publisher=Findhorn Press |isbn=978-1-899171-26-2}}</ref> Maclean initially followed practices from the Sufi group centred on the teachings of [[Inayat Khan]], and from this developed her contact with the divine to focus upon communication with 'nature spirits' which she named as ''[[Deva (New Age)|devas]]''.
