On Saturday 6th
September, Camphill Milton Keynes had an Open Day. For this year’s open day,
most of the events and activities happened in the Chrysalis Theatre.
The events
officially started at 12pm with some singing by Jeremy Cooper, Luke Wiseman,
Joan Harris, Hanne Drexel and Filia. Then we had a barbecue. After lunch, there
was a brief explanation of Camphill’s hopes for the day by Tim Davis the CEO followed
by a fashion show by the Weavery, and an insightful and informative film on
Person Centred Planning produced by the newsletter group. There were musical performances with hand-bells and the lyre and a presentation on the World Wide Weave
project (a national Camphill initiative) that said Camphill Milton Keynes has recently completed pieces depicting
our place in the Camphill world. The young co-workers performed a short play
depicting the trials and tribulations of a volunteer co-worker; from arriving
fresh faced at CMKC to leaving inspired and ready to face the world with a
wealth of new experiences and insights. Then we had another break.
After the
break, there was more singing followed by our very own "Oscars" presentation
marking some of the people and activities that we are most proud of.
Then we had presentations
and discussion on our future strategy led by Tim Davis and the management team.
This was a chance to reflect on what is most special about our Camphill
Community as we prepare for the future.
Our finale
was a musical collaboration that raised the theatre rafters and left us all
inspired for our future.
