I applied to other Camphill’s but after seeing Corbenic for the first time on the internet there was a special click and my heart told me to go there. And so, I did. Now, eight months after I left, I am super grateful and still fulfilled by this magical experience.
About the community
Corbenic is a community of 110 people, 38 residents, 6 households within around 100 acres of agricultural and forestry land.
The community is based on the principle of living and working together with those who have special needs. Those with special needs play a critical, participative, central role in the life of Corbenic. Respect and concern for the dignity of each person are actively fostered at Corbenic, as is ensuring a stable and secure physical, emotional, social environment, and attending to individual privacy and promoting appropriate independence.
We provide horse riding therapy, music therapy, art therapy, and rhythmical massage. Corbenic is a great place for people who love the outdoors.
New Day Service Provision
We offer day service opportunities to young people and adults living outwith the community in our workshops and also at our shop/cafe in Dunkeld.

When my mum told me about Camphill Communities in Scotland, where she was herself at my age, I got very curious about it and through the German organisation, ‘Freunde der Erziehungskunst’ I found Corbenic.
