Camphill Social and Ecological Renewal

Dr. Karl Koenig in Scotland founded the Camphill foundation in 1939. The vision of the foundation was to create settlements that would enhance the wellbeing of people with special needs by providing them opportunities within a cooperative community to contribute their own special attributes. Coupled with the movement to harbor nurturing communities, Camphill communities integrate organic agriculture and ecologically conscious living. The video posted above is a slide show of the Kimberton Camphill in West Chester County Pennsylvania. We will be looking at this community in more detail in the coming days. These images showcase the ecological considerations that are integrated into many Camphill communities.
