Camphill Communities California, an inclusive life-sharing community for adults, is located along the beautiful central Pacific coast.








Camphill California is situated on 7 acres of land in Soquel, CA between the north shore of the Monterey Bay and the Santa Cruz Mountains. Their mission is to provide a nurturing, dynamic residential community where a dedicated group of individuals of all abilities live, learn and work together.
Each weekday morning begins with a community gathering in their lovely Paloma Hall, giving the community a chance to check in with one another, and to share how each day will unfold. Throughout the morning, rotating crews perform different responsibilities in their eight homes. Other residents are engaged in culinary arts, weaving, herb processing crews or land maintenance in their biodynamic orchard, herb, and vegetable gardens.
Individuals are also encouraged to take part in artistic endeavors in the afternoons as a means of self-discovery, relationship-building and as a way of engaging with the world and the universe. The art program includes music, movement, painting, yoga and many other activities.
For Camphill California’s Volunteer Service Program, a talented team of international and U.S. volunteers joins the community for one or more years of voluntary service.
As a certified branch campus of the Camphill Academy, Camphill California offers U.S. and international students the opportunity to study in its practice-integrated postsecondary programs and earn a Diploma in Inclusive Social Development. The Academy programs emphasize emergent field-based learning within the context of community life.
