📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Jøssåsen Landsby is a community (village) for and with adults with disabilities. Jøssåsen is a part of the Camphill movement. There are 5 similar villages in Norway. These communities are based on the teachings of anthroposophy. Situated on a biodynamic farm, Jøssåsen has 5 family houses and several workshops. There are approximately 50 people living in the community. Three to five villagers plus three to four co-workers live in each house. There are also about ten people from the local community, who come to Jøssåsen on a daily basis to do various work. The village property, including all the buildings, land and forest is owned by the Camphill Trust. Jøssåsen is economically supported by the state.
