Many of us have had similar experiences; we joined Camphill when we were relatively young, often after university and after travelling in those heady days following the hippie era. We were full of enthusiasm and idealism and believed that it was possible both to escape the worst of what we did not like in society and to build a better way for people to live together. We joined Camphill, married, began our families and grew into the responsibilities of running house communities, workshops and teams of land workers. We learnt how to produce festival plays, we joined study groups, attended talks and went to lots of meetings. All of these were formative experiences. We were moved by the inspirational example of our elders – the pioneers and those who came shortly after the pioneers – and internalised the ideals and the practices of community that they had created and nurtured. Now, 20 or 30 years later - still in Camphill - we are older and more tired. We have become more realistic about what can and cannot be achieved in community in the 21st century. We have become less idealistic, and perhaps less confident in the philosophical principles that we had believed in so fervently. We have become the new generation of community leaders. We are professional care providers, managers, administrators, teachers, therapists, trainers and co- ordinators. We expect and need more time and space to ourselves and more security about our future when we retire. We are wondering where the next generation that will take our place is going to come from. Our generation has had a particular destiny. We inherited an inspirational alternative community from the pioneers and have ended up with the responsibility of trying to manage a complex and increasingly differentiated organisation. We have been buffeted by a whole series of changes beyond our choosing and control but still believe that what we are doing is immensely worthwhile in many different ways. We are not too sure what the future holds and sometimes we are not too sure where we are meant to be taking all of this. It is from this perspective that the following has been written. It is the particular story of a particular time in the development of a particular community impulse. This perspective will both inform and colour all that follows. 4 INTRODUCTION The Camphill communities in Scotland are the home and workplace of some 1,000 people. The settings are invariably beautiful, the houses characteristically welcoming and there is a feeling of purposeful energy, dedication and commitment that make them exceptional places. They are very special places for all the people who live in them, work in them and are involved in them in one way or another. There is a long and treasured history and a deeply appreciated tradition which still inform the ethos, values and culture of the communities. New ideas and innovative practice are constantly being developed. The magic of community is still alive and well in the Camphill communities in 2008. Yet it would be disingenuous to pretend that there are not also some challenges facing the communities. The overall aim of this work is to attempt to throw light on the situations that the Camphill communities find themselves in at the beginning of the 21st century. More than 60 years after the inception of the Camphill Movement, for reasons that will soon become apparent, there seems to be a feeling of uncertainty as to the future development of the communities. Through this work, I hope to stimulate and encourage a process of reflection and appraisal that will contribute to the process of discerning the way forward into the future. Previously, I had conducted some research into the changes in the experience of the sense of community among people who live and work in the Camphill communities in Scotland. This research was entitled ‘Experiences of Community: A study of the changing experience of community in the Camphill communities in Scotland’ and was completed in February 2007. I was motivated to conduct the research out of the realisation that the communities have had to absorb an unprecedented amount of both internal and external change over a very short period of time, namely the last 10-15 years. I wanted to assess the extent to which this change has affected the experience of community and to gather suggestions as to how to improve this community experience in the future. What I ended up with, among other things, was a number of striking and significant paradoxes. It appeared that those people who had spent longest in the communities had the most intense experience of community, yet felt that it was on the decline. In contrast, those people who had spent less time in the communities, and most of the employees who responded, had a less intense community experience but felt that it was increasing. Many respondents said that they needed more time to themselves and yet many also wanted more community events. Finally, even though the number of employees in the communities is on the increase, many people, especially the employees themselves, felt that employees were not valued and appreciated to the same degree as residential coworkers. However, the dominant theme on the minds of most people who replied to the questionnaire was the quality of interpersonal relationships between community members. The paradox here is that these relationships were seen as both the best and worst aspect of community living. Although the research and this work can be read separately they are in fact complementary and both are different aspects of a common endeavour. This endeavour is the attempt to combine what is known of the current experience in the Camphill communities in Scotland with models and theories of community development in general. The overall aim is to contribute to, and inform, the ongoing discussion in the communities as to the way forward. 5 What I hope to be doing in what follows is to try and make sense of all that has changed in the experience of community and to try and discern some patterns that might serve to bring a semblance of order and purposefulness into what has been a challenging process. This work, as is the case with the research project, is also based primarily on experiences in the Scottish communities. However, it seeks to go further in that it draws on, and makes reference to, experiences in Great Britain and beyond. While the frame of reference is therefore relatively localised and specific the hope is that it may be of more general relevance. I am certainly not in a position to speak on behalf of any other communities than those in Scotland, but nonetheless I am confident that the topics of this work have a more universal application. This work will not be limited to a consideration of the changes that are currently being experienced in the Camphill communities. I will also be looking at the whole question of community as an archetypal social phenomenon. I will therefore be considering the Camphill communities in the wider and more general context of the historical development

  • Camphill and the Future
    3 Camphill Contexts A communal movement, like any living thing, evolves in complex relationship with its environment. In the beginning, the relevant environment is small. The movement’s growth is shaped primarily by the founders’ creativity and strength of will, their capacity to get along with one another, and other internal factors. Movements that reach a second or third generation do so because their found- ers manage to open themselves to the surrounding world, at least to the extent of welcoming a new generation into movement leadership. This is what Camphill accomplished, rather splendidly, with the incorporation of baby boomers in the 1970s. By the time a communal movement reaches maturity, however, it does not simply live within an environment. It relates simultaneously to multiple contexts, each offering its own challenges and opportunities to the movement. The task of a mature movement is to allow itself to be transformed by each of its contexts, and simultaneously to transform each context by bringing to it distinctly communal practices and ideals. THE ANTHROPOSOPHICAL MOVEMENT Camphill’s first context was the anthroposophical movement, and anthroposophy continues to exert a formative influence over Camphill’s development. The found- ers of Camphill began as members of anthroposophical youth groups in Vienna. Like other clusters of younger anthroposophists in the 1920s and 1930s, they were impatient with abstract study and eager to translate their spiritual ideals into con- crete practices. When the rise of Hitler forced them out of Vienna, they followed the migration patterns of anthroposophists before and since—to the British Isles, and soon thereafter to the United States, South Africa, Holland, and Scandina- via.

  • Camphill and the Future
    DISABILITY STUDIES | RELIGION M C KANAN THE CAMPHILL MOVEMENT, one of the world’s largest and most enduring networks of intentional communities, deserves both recognition and study. CAMPHILL A ND Founded in Scotland at the beginning of the Second World War, Camphill communities still thrive today, encompassing thousands of people living in more CAMPHILL than one hundred twenty schools, villages, and urban neighborhoods on four continents. Camphillers of all abilities share daily work, family life, and festive THE FUTURE celebrations with one another and their neighbors. Unlike movements that reject mainstream society, Camphill expressly seeks to be “a seed of social renewal” by evolving along with society to promote the full inclusion and empowerment of persons with disabilities, who comprise nearly half of their residents. In this Spirituality and Disability in an Evolving Communal Movement multifaceted exploration of Camphill, Dan McKanan traces the complexities of AND THE the movement’s history, envisions its possible future, and invites ongoing dia- logue between the fields of disability studies and communal studies. “Dan McKanan knows Camphill better than anyone else in the academic world FUTURE and has crafted an absorbing account of the movement as it faces challenges eighty years after its founding.” TIMOTHY MILLER, author of The Encyclopedic Guide to American Inten- tional Communities “This book serves as a living, working document for the Camphill movement. Spirituality and Disability Communal Movement in an Evolving McKanan shows that disability studies and communal studies have more to offer each other than we recognize.” ELIZABETH SANDERS, Managing Director, Camphill Academy “With good research and wonderful empathy, McKanan pinpoints not only Cam- phill’s societal significance but also how this eighty-year-old movement can still bring potent remediation for the values and social norms of today’s world.” RICHARD STEEL, CEO, Karl König Institute DAN MCKANAN is the Emerson Senior Lecturer at Harvard Divinity School.

How could he offer a healing impulse? At an early age he was burning with empathy and a deep feeling of responsibility for his times: «historic conscience», he himself called it. Born into a Jewish family, he was always moved by the words of Christ: «What you have done to the least of my brethren, you have done unto me.» On the one side there was the cultural richness of Vienna – theater, music, literature, painting and the sciences – on the other side there was poverty, war and the decay of society. König saw three possibilities to be of help for the future of humanity: he was an artist in various fields, but particularly a gifted musician who wanted to study piano, conducting and composition. Music can be such a path to peace and a bridge between nations and cultures.

  • Camphill and the Future
    2 Camphill Constituencies Camphillers do not like to put people into categories. If you ask Camphillers about the distinctions that I will be discussing in this chapter—between villagers and coworkers, between employed coworkers and those who practice incomesharing and lifesharing, between those who reside full-time in Camphill and those who only spend their daytime hours there—you are likely to get into an argument. “Our dear friends, you might call them villagers,” replied coworker Ruairidh von Stein when I asked him about the villager experience in Camphill, “I don’t want to call them any names really, I hate titling, but anyway, they are our teachers.”1 While the overcoming of categories is a sincere aspiration, it has yet to be fully realized in Camphill. Some Camphillers pay to be in Camphill and receive special sup- port; some are paid to be there and to provide special support; some neither pay nor are paid. Often, the first group are called “villagers,” the second “employees,” and the third “coworkers,” though there is much variation in terminology. This economic distinction coincides with a host of other distinctions about how people are invited to join the community, what roles they are encouraged or allowed to play, and how they exercise leadership. Sometimes, a subset of Camphillers is con- flated with “the Camphill community” as a whole. My best guess is that Camphill can only transcend these distinctions by reflecting more explicitly about how they function currently. I offer this chapter as a contribution to that reflection. Camphill’s aspiration to overcome categorical thinking is entangled with the work of generational transition discussed in the previous chapter.

  • Anthroposophy - Wikipedia
    1/30/2021 Anthroposophy - Wikipedia Anthroposophy Anthroposophy is a philosophy founded in the early 20th century by the esotericist Rudolf Steiner that postulates the existence of an objective, intellectually comprehensible spiritual world, accessible to human experience. Followers of anthroposophy aim to develop mental faculties of spiritual discovery through a mode of thought independent of sensory experience.[1][2] They also aim to present their ideas in a manner verifiable by rational discourse and specifically seek a precision and clarity in studying the spiritual world mirroring that obtained by scientists investigating the physical world. The philosophy has its roots in German idealist and mystical philosophies.[3] Steiner chose the term anthroposophy (from anthropo-, human, and Sophia, wisdom) to emphasize his philosophy's humanistic orientation.[1][4] Anthroposophical ideas have been employed in alternative movements in many areas including education (both in Waldorf schools and in the Camphill movement), agriculture, medicine, banking, organizational development, and the arts.[1][5][6][7][8] The main organization for advocacy of Steiner's ideas, the Anthroposophical Society, is headquartered at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland. Anthroposophy's supporters include Hilma af Klint, Pulitzer Prize-winning and Nobel Laureate Saul Bellow,[9] Nobel prize winner Selma Lagerlöf,[10] Andrei Bely,[11][12] Joseph Beuys,[13] Owen Barfield, architect Walter Burley Griffin,[14] Wassily Kandinsky,[15][16] Andrei Tarkovsky,[17] Bruno Walter,[18] Right Livelihood Award winners Sir George Trevelyan,[19] and Ibrahim Abouleish,[20] child psychiatrist Eva Frommer,[21][22] Fortune magazine editor Russell Davenport, Romuva (Lithuanian pagan) religious founder Vydūnas, and former president of Georgia, Zviad Gamsakhurdia.
