Mission: Heartbeet is a vibrant lifesharing community that includes adults with developmental disabilities and interweaves the social and agricultural realms for the healing and renewing of our society and the earth. Community members live and work together, in beautiful extended family households, forming a mutually supportive environment that enables each individual to discover and develop his or her unique abilities and potential. In heartbeet we strive to manifest what are called the three essentials of camphill. These can be formulated in different ways, but here is one simple triad. The first essential is our striving always to recognize and respect the higher being or divine essence of every individual, regardless of outer appearance or abilities. The second is that many of us follow a conscious inner path of self development integrated with our outer work. The third is the creation of community economic and social structures that reflect and, we hope, foster, genuine brotherhood
Programs: Heartbeet lifesharing is a community of people which include adults with disabilities living and sharing their lives together. Heartbeet uses daily life as an opportunity for various forms of therapy.
