We are a life sharing community that recognizes the spiritual uniqueness of each human being
A community inspired by Christian ideals, open to people of all spiritual or religious paths.
Camphill Communities are places which provide a secure home environment where people live together "sharing lives". Adults with special needs live, work and celebrate together with volunteers, carers and their families. We create space for everybody to unfold their potential with respect and dignity, based on each one's abilities instead of their difficulties. Our particular character and purpose is distinctively formed by our members. We maintain close links with life of the village, seeking to become active in the social and cultural life of the surrounding area.
While the community is based on the Camphill model and is a member of the Association of Camphill Communities, Camphill Community Mountshannon is part of Ard Aoibhinn Community Initiatives CLG; a registered charity (CHY 14535), which aims to foster community initiatives and promote social inclusion and development in the area.
The Camphill Community Mountshannon project is funded through the HSE and through voluntary fundraising.
