2021 Camphill Movement Group Meeting

Healing – An Individual and a Community Vocation

The Camphill Movement Group is the group of delegates from the various regions of the worldwide Camphill Movement. It meets annually for a conference. This year’s conference took place virtually from May 24-28, 2021. On this page, you will find the presentations given during the conference.

The questions that the group pursued together were: What does the world need from us now? How do I find my task in the world as an individual? How do we find our task as a community and as a worldwide movement? And how does the community enable us, as individuals to find and take up our task, our vocation, in the world?

Much of the conversation built, among other things, on last year’s Camphill Research Symposium, which centered on the book by Dan McKanan, Camphill and the Future, which was released in 2020. Order a print copy or download the free open-access electronic version at University of California Press.
