A busy autumn at Camphill Kimberton - join us!

We are looking ahead to the season’s many upcoming events – hope you’ll join us for one or more of them.  Fall is a beautiful time in the village; come for an event, or just lunch and a walk.  Thanks for your continued support!

October 16, Kimberton Waldorf School – Camphill Challenge

Three Camphill Communities in Chester County -- Camphill Special School, Camphill Soltane, and Camphill Village Kimberton Hills -- will be hosting the fifth annual Camphill Challenge! The Camphill Challenge is a family-friendly bicycling excursion on October 16 amidst gorgeous Chester County autumn foliage, horse farms, and historic homes. Featuring a 50-mile ride for avid cyclists, a moderately challenging 25-mile ride, a 10-mile circuit and also a 1-mile family fun ride to Beaver Farm, the Camphill Challenge is the perfect way to bike for a cause, not just because! The ride begins and ends at the Kimberton Waldorf School and is followed by lunch and music.

November 1, 8 p.m., Rose Hall - About Cleaning and Caring: A talk by Linda Thomas
Finding the motivation to create order and cleanliness in our living and working spaces can be challenging—until you hear Linda Thomas! Linda will be working with the Camphills in our area to teach many of the methods she has learned in her work at the Goetheanum and in her own business. On Tuesday November 1st, she will speak in Rose Hall—don’t miss it. Suggested donation is $10.


November 8, 7:30 p.m., Rose Hall – Alash Ensemble
Join us for a very special concert by Alash, masters of Tuvan throat singing (xöömei), a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. What distinguishes this gifted quartet from earlier generations of Tuvan throat singers is the subtle infusion of modern influences into their traditional music. One can find complex harmonies, western instruments, and contemporary song forms in Alash’s music, but its overall sound and spirit is decidedly Tuvan. Tickets are available at the door, $10. Seating is limited so please arrive early.

“This is some of the most beautiful and haunting music I have heard. If you have not heard them, you have no idea how incredible they are.” — Jeff Coffin of the Flecktones and Dave Matthews Band

“There are plenty of recordings of Tuvan throat singing out there, but they can’t compare to witnessing such sonic magic in real time.” — Washington Post
