Plowshare Lifesharing Community

Community Fellowship in Inclusive Social Development

Greenfield, NH Campus of the Camphill Academy

Applications are now being accepted for the 2025-26 academic year, which begins in late August. Fellows receive paid tuition, health insurance, a monthly stipend, and coverage of basic living needs.

Are you:

  • Searching for a meaningful life experience while earning debt-free college credit?

  • Seeking to learn practical skills in sustainable living?

  • Looking to gain tools for conscious living in the modern world?

  • Wishing to complete a strong Foundation Studies Year in Anthroposophy as preparation for Waldorf teacher training?


Plowshare Farm, a spiritually-striving intentional community based on the insights of Rudolf Steiner and Karl Koenig, offers a yearlong experiential learning opportunity in living in balance with the earth and sharing life with others, including those with developmental disabilities.

As a student, you will:

  • Hone the creative skills and personal dispositions to develop a biographically-informed understanding of the human being.

  • Unfold an understanding of human development through an anthroposophic lens by engaging with a multi-disciplinary curriculum (drawing from education, psychology, the arts, contemplative practice, community building, and more).

  • Gain lasting insights from one of the greatest teachers — the experience of living and serving in an inclusive community.
