Yesterday was our third session making handmade felt slippers in our weavery under the very helpful instruction of Amelia from Flowering Heart Homestead! We've been working with beautiful wool dyed in earth tones and jewel tones, and yesterday was finally time get very soapy and rinse our slippers under cold water to shrink them to size. It's been such a fun process from start to finish. Thank you, Amelia!

We were so inspired Friday by a presentation delivered by Mr. Manivannan Ganapathy, the founder of India's Heart and Soul Foundation. Mr. Ganapathy has been a special educator in India for many years, and his foundation has been doing excellent work and fundraising to begin Aalayam, a Camphill-inspired community in Bangalore, where there are many children in need of services but whose families have no income to obtain them. You might recognize his wonderful daughter, Aparajitha (in pink!), who has been living in and studying our community in order to bring her new skills home to assist with Aalayam in its establishment and future. We are so blessed to have this talented and steadfast family in our lives!

It’s officially May and our gardens are in full swing! Scott and Oliver are members of the crew, and have been working all week to prepare more rows for transplants! Turtle Tree’s growing season is longer than the rest of the Village because their crops won’t be harvested until they go to seed 🌱

The cast members from Catkill Mountain Shakespeare's production of Hamlet brought such amazing energy to Camphill Village on Friday! The performance was exciting, violent, upsetting, funny, and so much more than we could have hoped for. This 1980s punk rock spin on Shakespeare had our audience dancing in our chairs and sympathizing with these vibrant characters. We were so excited to get up and greet the cast on stage, and they were LOVELY! We really can't recommend this production enough. You should visit this link to see their remaining scheduled performances on this tour: https://www.catskillmountainshakespeare.com/community-tour

Imagine, if you can, the experience of being a young calf living under the roof of our cozy, protected loose housing for the winter. And then one day in spring, the farmers open the gate, and your little world expands into the roadways of Camphill Village, blue skies overhead, and crowds cheering you on until you reach vibrant green pasture with your family. Each year, we gather along our roadways to take in this special moment—the first running of our cows. One of so many special traditions our community has practiced for decades!

And so it begins! Our community broke ground this month on what will be a new care house to shelter and care for the aging population of Camphill Village. We are delighted to have the opportunity to support more of our people from their 20s all the way until their final days here in Copake. We are so grateful for the support we’ve received to make this project possible, as it will fulfill a profound need for the elders of Camphill Village for generations to come.
