Our life is enhanced by plays and festivals, by playing music, singing and folk dancing, and by welcoming co-workers from other countries. Friends from the wider community join us for many happy celebrations, and further enrich the fabric of our life together.

As a part of our aim to help each person reach his or her potential, we have designated one day a week as "College Day". In place of regular work, the day starts with eurythmy, speech and music, after which the main lesson content is presented, sometimes prepared by co-workers, sometimes by companions with support (and various trips to the library). Subjects which have been studied in the last year have included History, History of Art, Botany, Embryology, and Geography (in this lesson, each of the co-workers or companions chose an area they would like to do a presentation on). There are also tutorials during the week, in which the companions can work on reading, calligraphy or singing and music. Once a week we have a large recorder playing and percussion group, where we practice pieces for performance at our various seasonal festivals. “College Day” afternoons are given over to Drama, much enjoyed by all; we also sometimes prepare puppet shows using handmade silk marionettes.

In addition to our very full life, some our companions are enthusiastic participants in various local Special Olympic activities. Depending on the season, they play floor hockey, soccer, baseball, go bowling, swimming, and particularly enjoy being part of the Riding Program at Providence Farm in Duncan. Amber Benedict is a regular participant in the Summer Games. Amber and Lisa are also taking part in a public speaking course through Special Olympics. All of these activities bring our companions into a wider social circle, and make them feel a part of the larger community.
