The creation of a healthy therapeutic environment is enhanced, not only by the use of biodynamic agriculture, but also by attention to the environment as a whole. The store provides the Community with many natural whole-foods. The farm and market garden produce milk, meat, vegetables and fruit, without the use of pesticides or artificial fertilisers. The healing of the environment is fundamental to the philosophy of the Community.

Co-workers come from all walks of life and from many different countries. They do not receive wages, the community providing for material needs, which can vary from person to person.

Involvement in all aspects of life is an essential part of community living. Day-to-day events enhance the child's growing knowledge and awareness. Life in the house is carried by all who live in it, covering the necessary tasks, each according to age, ability and skill. Thus, an atmosphere of home and the care of each individual is fostered. Co-workers may take care of a group of children, cook, clean, assist in the classroom, or be employed in a workshop, or out on the land. Learning through work and experience is part of the community ethos, and part of the Training Course in Curative Education and Social Therapy.
