Editing Lindisfarne Association (section)

=== Move to Crestone and formation of other branches ===
As Lindisfarne began to run low on funding, it faced the loss of its lease on the Church of the Holy Communion. At a conference at the [[New Alchemy Institute]] in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, [[Petro-Canada]] CEO and [[United Nations]] official [[Maurice Strong]] offered to donate land from [[Luis Maria Baca Grant No. 4|his ranch]] in [[Crestone, Colorado]]. Thompson chose 77 acres of land near Spanish Creek—self-reportedly because his "Irish Druid Radar" had gone off while driving past—where Lindisfarne began to construct new buildings for its purposes.{{sfnp|Collins|1982|pp=24–25, 43–44}}

Today the Lindisfarne Fellows House, the Lindisfarne Chapel, and the Lindisfarne Mountain Retreat are under the ownership and management of the [[Crestone Mountain Zen Center]].<ref>{{cite web|title=The Lindisfarne Tapes|url=http://www.centerforneweconomics.org/content/lindisfarne-tapes|publisher=Schumacher Center for a New Economics|accessdate=5 May 2014}}</ref>  Lindisfarne has functioned variously as a sponsor of classes, conferences, and concerts and public lectures events, and as a [[think tank]] and retreat, similar to the [[Esalen Institute]] in [[California]]. Lindisfarne functioned as  a not-for-profit foundation until 2009; the Lindisfarne Fellowship continued to hold annual meetings until 2012. It is no longer an active organization.

In addition to its facility in Crestone (the "Lindisfarne Mountain Retreat"), three other branches of the organization were formed:<ref name=Redenius254>{{harvp|Redenius|1985|p=254}}.</ref> 
* a headquarters in New York City at the [[Cathedral of St. John the Divine]];
* the Lindisfarne Press was established in [[Stockbridge, Massachusetts]]; and
* the Lindisfarne Fellows House was opened at the [[San Francisco Zen Center]].
