Co-Worker Information Book

Introduction

This booklet aims to give you more information about aspects of our life and work within the Lantern Community, in order that you have as full a picture as possible of our lifestyle, and its requirements, expectations and demands, before you choose to join us as a volunteer. If you have questions or concerns after reading this, we would encourage you to raise these with us before applying, in order to try to avoid any possible misunderstandings in the future. As you have probably heard or read elsewhere, life in a Camphill Community is quite demanding due to the long hours and the intensity of human encounter. This booklet, which complements the Application booklet, will help you to make an informed decision as to your application. If you wish to join us, please return your Application Booklet as soon as possible, and retain this booklet for future reference. With best wishes from us all in the Lantern Community.

The Booklet can be read in pdf format from here, you can view it in your browser or right click and select 'save file as' to download it to your computer for offline viewing.

"Only the help from one person to the other, the encounter of their higher spiritual being, an awareness of the other’s individuality, without enquiring into creed or world conception or political affiliation, but simply the meeting, eye to eye, of two individualities - only this creates the kind of curative education which may encounter and heal the threat to our innermost humanity."
