Phila Centre
PHILA THERAPY CENTRE
The Phila Therapy Centre is the centre for therapies and health care for the children and young adults of Camphill School
and the adult residents of the Camphill Farm Community as well as the co-workers living and working in these communities.
'Phila' in Xhosa promises that “all who come here will be well” while 'Phila' in Greek means love. The individual
receiving treatment is approached through both conventional medicine and anthroposophical medicine, supplemented by the
various therapies. All treatments are aimed to support and stimulate internal healing processes of body and soul in the
restoration of health.
The Phila Therapy Centre is shared between the Camphill School and Camphill Farm communities. In the School community,
anthroposophical therapies play an important part as one of the pillars of Curative Education for children and young
adults with special needs. On the Farm, for the adult residents, therapies as well as adult education and health related
activities form an important part of Social Therapy.
The Centre officially opened on February 13, 2005. It is designed and equipped to provide a range of anthroposophical and
other alternative therapies as well as adult education. The building was designed in such a way that most of the therapy
rooms can be used for more than one healing modality.
Therapies currently offered:
- therapeutic eurythmy (movement therapy)
- massage
- painting/art therapy
