We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Camphill Hudson for joining us and sharing a thoughtful reenactment of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas, along with the singing of Christmas carols. The performance was truly enjoyed by all, especially Bill.

On Sunday, December 14th, we came together for our Winter Festival celebration, Light in the Darkness.

In the prologue to the story of Parzival, it is written:
“A person can attain mastery of his life only upon becoming conscious of how Light and Darkness live together in the soul.”

This powerful idea inspired our celebration. When light permeates darkness—or darkness permeates light—the world of color arises. It is this living, colorful world that we explored together in the Hall.

Through eurythmy, we experienced the different qualities of color, and then, one by one, each person added their own stroke and color to a shared picture. Together, we created a beautiful community artwork, accompanied by the singing of Christmas carols.

It was a meaningful afternoon of creativity, togetherness, and reflection, reminding us of the light we carry and share, even in the darkest seasons. ✨

Thank you, Jodi, for organizing the beautiful boxwood centerpiece project!
Our residents and staff truly enjoyed every moment of it. From choosing the branches to adding the finishing touches, the room was filled with laughter, smiles, and wonderful conversations. Activities like this remind us how special it is to slow down, work side by side, and share in the simple joy of creating something together.

It was a lovely way to welcome the holiday season and to celebrate the sense of togetherness that makes our community so special. Thank you again for bringing us all together in such a meaningful and festive way!🎄🔔❄️🌿💚

🍂✨ This week, we celebrate Michaelmas — a festival of courage, balance, and the turning of the seasons. In biodynamic farming, it’s also the time for special preparations: fresh cow manure is placed into cow horns, chamomile blossoms are packed into cow intestines, and even a cow skull is filled with oak bark and all to be buried in the earth.
Why do we do this? The winter months, when the earth is “breathing in,” provide the perfect environment for these preparations to transform. By spring, they emerge as rich, vital substances that enliven the soil, strengthen plants, and support healthy crops for the year ahead.
It’s a beautiful reminder that even as the days grow shorter and quieter, profound work is happening beneath the surface — in the soil, in nature, and within ourselves. 🌱💫
Happy Michaelmas!
