CAMPHILL PROFILES

Meet some of the fantastic people who make up Camphill

Muka smiles at the camera in a closeup shot while performing in a play. He is wearing a white button up shirt, a red tie, a grey vest, and a brown hat. He has short, dark hair and a beard and moustache. He is holding a harmonica in front of his face, but he is smiling and not playing it.

Muka Mutale

Originally from Zambia, Muka came to Camphill Village Copake after a year at Camphill Scotland. Now, he’s a student in the Social Therapy track at the Camphill Academy and a leader in Copake’s Co-op.

Before coming to Camphill, Muka worked for the office of Zambia’s vice president. Though he found his work meaningful, he wasn’t satisfied with the repetitive lifestyle of a 9-to-5 and was searching for a new challenge. When he heard about Camphill, Muka knew life here would offer him the personal growth he was seeking, and he was thrilled to learn more about inclusive community.

“The whole idea and vision of Camphill was speaking to me. It felt like something that I’d been missing for a long time.”

In Copake, Muka has become a leader on the food co-op team, sharing his passion for environmentalism and sustainability. Outside of the co-op, Muka loves laughing with his friends and housemates.

While Muka originally intended to spend just one year with Camphill, he is nearing the start of his fourth year in the community, where he studies in Camphill Academy. With ever-expanding goals for the co-op and his own growth, he doesn’t see his Camphill journey ending anytime soon.
