Molly Brett, Secretary

Molly Brett is the Parent-Child teacher at Kimberton Waldorf School, a certified Yoga/Pilates instructor and mother of three. She enjoys seasonal crafts, singing with her children and cooking healthy food for her family. She believes strongly that health care should consider the whole person and enjoys Dr. Greer’s and Dr. Knauf's holistic approaches to care. She is excited to be a part of Carah and its innovative, community-centered model towards wellness for all.

Andy Dill

Andy retired in 2020 from the Kimberton Waldorf School (his alma mater) after a forty-year career teaching biology, outdoor education, and physical education. Since then, his priorities have been flyfishing, grandparenting, and supporting community-centered, anthroposophically-based initiatives. These include The Christian Community of Pennsylvania, SunGate Educational Community, and Carah Medical Arts, organizations with commitments to the free spiritual life in the religious, educational, and medical realms, respectively. Each also recognizes the vital importance of fostering human relationships and building community within the social sphere, ideals that Andy enthusiastically supports.

Susan Clee, President

Sue Clee RN, BSN, ANS, RES has been living and working in Camphill Village Kimberton Hills since 1994. After many years of informal study she began an Anthroposophic Nurse training in 2010 and is a member of NAANA (North American Anthroposophic Nursing Association). She provides nursing care, Rhythmical Einreibung, Oil Dispersion Baths and compresses to village residents and to those referred from outside the community. She is an enthusiastic supporter of Carah Medical Arts because it is a juicy green patch of garden in an otherwise desolate landscape of what we call health care in the USA.

Jan Goeschel

Jan Christopher Goeschel, PhD, is the President of the Camphill Academy, the umbrella organization for professional education and research of the Camphill Movement in North America. He is also the Managing Director and a Member of the Leadership Team of the International Curative Education and Social Therapy Council, the worldwide network of anthroposophic organizations in the field of disabilities and social care. He holds a doctorate in special needs education and rehabilitation sciences from the University of Cologne (Germany). He believes that the community-supported model of Carah Medical Arts will serve as a prototype for a new way of making good primary healthcare available through a community of solidarity and mutual support. The community-supported model has the potential to free the practice of medicine from the constraints imposed by the current insurance-based health care system. This allows the medical and therapeutic work itself to deepen and develop further within a context of genuine human relationships.

Gleice DaSilva

Gleice DaSilva received her BA in Biology from Universidade Federal de Pernambuco in Brazil. During the following two and a half years she worked as a volunteer in Angola, Mozambique, and India. Since 2011, Gleice has been part of the Camphill movement, initially for one year at the Sheiling School Ringwood, UK and afterwards at The Camphill School in PA. Gleice received a diploma in curative education through the Camphill Academy and a Master in Healing Education through Antioch University of New England. Currently, Gleice teaches at the Camphill Academy and is engaged with teaching how to work with curative stories.

Thomas Roemer, Treasurer

Thomas Roemer grew up with a large family in rural Wisconsin. He enjoyed studying toward a BA in anthropology in Milwaukee, lived in communities with Franciscan and Benedictine brothers, and then met Anthroposophy, as well as many lively cows, pigs, chickens and vegetables on a biodynamic farm near Ithaca, NY. After studying and working at Emerson College in England, he returned to Wisconsin with his life partner, Veronika, to develop a young Waldorf School and teach for 8 years as a class teacher there. Since then his long list of "has beens" includes being a Camphill co-worker at Kimberton Hills, a biodynamic farmer, a seniors' care-giver, and a building and grounds maintainer at a senior living center. Thomas currently lives in rural Carbon County, PA, where he enjoys homesteading, supporting homeschoolers, and encouraging the ventures of his five grown daughters and sons. He is delighted to be able to support the healing medical arts which are practiced at Carah, in a socially healthy way, serving his friends in the Phoenixville area and possibly serving as a model for healthy developments in the realm of healing arts in other places.
