The Camphill Movement is a worldwide network of homes and villages
for children and adults with special needs. Inspired by the vision
of its founder, Karl Koenig, and a group of close associates, the
growth of the Camphill Movement is the story of an idea about
community: community as the basis for special needs education,
therapy and living. The world in which Camphill was born is a world
that hardly exists today. In 1940, during the ravages of a brutal
and devastating war, with the greatest resistance and under the
most challenging of circumstances, Camphill was like a seed planted
in the foreign, granite-strewn soil of northern Scotland. Some
seventy years later the Camphill seed has taken root, grown,
flourished and flowered, and propagated into many countries. This
book, bursting with over 200 photographs, is a joyful celebration
of the story of Camphill. The fascinating feature-articles cover
everything from the history of Camphill, to the development of
individual communites around the world, and the future challenge of
sharing Camphill's message with the wider world. The portrait is
painted through debates that affect the Camphill movement as a
whole, and through the personal stories that make up its
communities. This is a beautiful book filled with pictures,
memories and stories, and above all filled with the people who have
made Camphill what it is today.
