Our History - Camphill Devon

The movement was founded in 1940 by Dr Karl Koenig and his co-founders, who developed a mutually-supportive model for community life based on the principles of Dr Rudolf Steiner. Over time the choices of individuals at Camphill Devon about how they want to life their lives have changed and whilst some maintain an interest in the foundations of the Camphill movement and are supported to pursue their religious or cultural beliefs, there are others for whom this plays a lesser part, and we support each individual accordingly.
