In December 2020, Blattwerk Naturpädagogik Berlin opened the Alegría Educación Natural on La Gomera Valle Gran Rey directly on Vueltas beach. It is a space for free education, a mentoring centre and a place of learning for people of all ages. The Alegría offers a painting room, a seminar room, a play room with Montessori materials and natural play materials.

It is a place for nature education, Montessori education, nature therapy, free and self-determined education, accompaniment of unschooling families. People from many nations learn together here. We speak Spanish, English and German.

Courses, seminars, open meetings and community-building activities take place in our rooms. Outside our rooms, we also organise community walks, excursions, sea experiences, educational and experiential activities such as tree climbing, apnoea / free diving, sailing, etc.

The Alegría is the headquarters of ABORA Asociación de educación natural, creativa y persistente, our Spanish association.

We cooperate with the Cabuwazi Circus in Berlin and organise projects for children and young people.

Here you can find a talk from the “Online Kongress Lebensschule Natur” 2019 and an interview with Bianca Geburek from Herzton about “Self-determined, natural education” at the end of 2021.

La Gomera has a winter tourist season and most of our offers take place between October-April.

Montessori Playroom

“The great thing about Alegría is that here you really have a lot of time to do things you want. It’s not like that at school.” Arvid 9 years

Freediving / Apnoea Diving

Apnoea / free diving is the most original form of diving with only one breath without technical aids. Whales and dolphins have developed this to perfection, but we humans also possess the “mammalian diving reflex” and can move amazingly long and deep under water with a little practice. We dive into the broad topic of breathing, relaxation and trust in the water, theoretically and practically. A first step to feeling safe in the water.

In recreational and nature education, the focus is on exploring the underwater world and elements of yoga such as deep, conscious breathing with awareness exercises.

In the Our courses in the sea take place with Roland Barthel. Please ask personally for dates: 0034 6343077

Hero’s Journey

Hero’s Journeys is a method we have developed from the experiences of mask archetype work, ritual play, systemic constellation work and the classic hero’s journey according to Vogler and Campbell. It offers the possibility to experience topics and to be able to take a new perspective with the help of the representatives. Options and consequences for action can be experienced and implemented. I.e.: The goal is to develop solutions that expand the future scope of action. The hero/inner journey takes place in the room and outside and is led by Ilka.
