Our Way of Living
There is a worldwide tendency to abandon a culture of institutionalized care, protection and segregation of people with complex needs and to move rather
towards creating everyday lives, in which each person is respected as a worthy, contributing citizen.
At Camphill Farm Community every person – however complex their individual needs may be - is valued as a unique being, is responsible for his or her own life,
is striving towards being acknowledged as an individual and is able to govern the happiness of his or her everyday life. This new perception includes many
kinds of relationships and opportunities to participate, contribute, learn, work, celebrate, enjoy,
relax, love and be loved, be safe and pursue our dreams.
It must be appreciated that a person with complex needs has to contend with many imposed and hidden difficulties. The message we are putting out every day is: “You are
not alone. Together we can make a difference by being a force of change and we can thus improve our own circumstances. Whatever support you need we will give you”
It is our daily endeavour to put all this into practise, while recognizing that such an ideal will not be achieved in one day.
