Gorgeous piece about the life of artist George McCutcheon. Beautifully written by @MichaelWLanigan

Artist George McCutcheon was a trailblazer in the truest sense of the word! A brilliant article by @MichaelWLanigan about his life and the people who supported his artistic vision.

The right to be cared for, and to care properly for ourselves and others, will be among the most important social-justice issues – particularly for women – as we emerge from the pandemic.... Kathleen Lynch. irishtimes.com/news/social-af… Kitty Holland @IrishTimes

And from Jenny who talked about the importance of art, dance, nature in healing and growth and the disappointing reality of the emphasis on medical approaches to disability. #LivingAConnectedLife

Super points from Brianna using the analogy of a flower to show us what is important in a connected life. #LivingAConnectedLife

“Happiness - living in harmony with one another and with nature”. “Disconnection from self causes unhappiness” #LivingAConnectedLife

This letter to @ITletters is from a foster parent who worked in Camphill for many years.

Another extremely important point from a family member. Residents are now excluded from any control over fundamental decisions that impact their lives. They, nor their families, can hold the board to account such as recent changes to the constitution. @Charities_Reg @AnneRabbitte

Regarding the articles in the Irish Times at the beginning of the week many Camphill families responded to what they see as a less than complete picture of how finance was managed in communities. We will make some available here

@CamphillFfa Yes 50 years starting with Duffcarrig, a shame it never made it to 50.
