Hertha Levefællesskab /Hertha Intentional Community is situated near Aarhus in Jutland on a slope with a tremendous view. It was founded in 1996 and now consists of about 150 people including 27 people with special needs/developmentally challenged persons. The main topic in this village community is social ecology i.e. how do we get a culturally and socially sustainable community running and including a group of people with special needs.
The community decisions are made on an anthroposophical (Rudolf Steiner) basis and we practice “reverse integration” i.e. the so-called normal in fact integrate with the retarded people. The “normal” has settled down as a “friendly tribe” around the retarded. There is a ratio of 1:5 between challenged and “normal” which will be maintained as the project develops to a maximum of about 150 people. There are workshops for the handicapped (bakery, weaving room, laundry workshop, kitchen, garden, farming, dairy, outdoor maintenance group and drama workshop). Apart from this, there is at present a goldsmith, an architect’s office working here. Tree families have build straw bale houses.
