Triform Camphill Community

Triform artists setting up for the big show! For the past three years, Triform students have participated in the NYSACRA (NYS Association of Community Residential Agencies) Art Show held at the Sagamore Hotel in Lake George, NY. This past April was full of writing our short artists biographies, preparing and selecting the art to be hung. We also took time to practice the poem The Spell of Creation by Kathleen Raine and movements which we performed for the art-going audience at the art show.

Triform students in yoga class  An article by AnnMarie Costanza        The ultimate goal of yoga according to Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, is " Yogas cittah vrtti nirodaha". This translates to the cessations of the fluctuations of the mind. This is a lofty goal for the average person even after years of practicing yoga regularly. However, they can achieve momentary stillness of the mind and the reward in those moments is able to hear the wisdom that is in their heart. For the person on the Autism spectrum or the person with OCD or ADHD, quieting the body is a tall order let alone the mind. However, I have been privileged to see firsthand that with yoga it is possible even for the briefest moment. For those brief moments, the student is aware of their breath and their body allowing their mind to come to stillness.
