The Garvald Centres are a group of six affiliated but independent Scottish charities offering creative opportunities and support for people with Special Needs and learning disabilities and who base their work on the ideas of the educator and philosopher, Rudolf Steiner. They operate in the Midlothian, Scottish Borders and Edinburgh area of Scotland. ==Founding== The ''Garvald School and Training Centre'' was founded near West Linton in 1944 by Dr Hans Schauder, his wife Lisl and others who decided to join him after having worked for some years at the Camphill community in Aberdeen. Dr Schauder himself was of Viennese origin and had fled Austria some years previously as he came from a Jewish family. Connected with Anthroposophy, the medical and therapeutic work of Rudolf Steiner and with the group around Dr Karl König, he had been among the founders of Camphill. After working at Garvald for some years he opened his own practice in Edinburgh and developed his own method of counselling until meeting the Dominican monk, Lefébure, with whom he wrote his best known and pioneering work Conversations on Counselling. The Garvald school later became simply the Garvald Training Centre and continued to grow and expand over time into six independent communities: : Garvald West Linton, the original community established in 1944. : Garvald Edinburgh, established in 1969, runs a bakery and confectionary delivering to whole food shops, delicatessens and cafés and private customers, which was featured in the short film ''Breadmakers'' produced by Jim Hickey and Robin Mitchell and directed by Yasmin Fedda in 2007 and won several awards. The Mulberry Bush Shop sells artisan gifts produced in their workshops as well as books, art materials and craft produced by other suppliers. Craft workshops include a glass studio, joinery, pottery, puppetry, textiles and hand tool refurbishment. In 2007 it opened the Orwell Arts building in the city, where the former Dalry Primary School had been.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Orwell Arts, the Garvald Centre, Edinburgh )〕 : The Engine Shed, an extension of Garvald Edinburgh founded in the 1980s. : The Columcille Centre has a range of programmes like Edinburgh All, Columcille Esbank, Music for All, the Library project, Columcille Hall that is also available for rental and the Columcille Ceili Band, which featured in the documentary ''“About A Band”'' by Jim Hickey and Robin Mitchell.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Columcille Centre )〕 In addition it hosts the Makers Markets.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Makers Markets - Morningside Makers Market )〕 : Garvald Glenesk, a residential care centre established in 1998. : Garvald Home Farm, a Biodynamic farm associated with Garvald West Linton established in 1987 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Garvald Centres」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
