In December 2020, Blattwerk Naturpädagogik Berlin opened the Alegría Educación Natural on La Gomera Valle Gran Rey directly on the beach of Vueltas. It is a space for free education, a mentoring centre and a meeting place for people of all ages.

The Alegría offers a seminar room for groups of up to 14 people, a creative space for painting and art therapy work. The seminar room is also used as a play room with Montessori and natural play materials. Workshops with clay, wood, fabric, etc. also take place in the creative room. People from different nations meet 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 hikes, excursions, sea experiences, educational and experiential activities such as tree climbing, apnoea / free diving, sailing, etc.

Complementary to our spaces by the sea, we are designing 7000sqm of land at the Garajonay jungle in Arure according to the principles of permaculture. The area is still in the process of being designed, but is already being used for meetings and seminars.

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 november-april.

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

We have about 100 square metres spread over three rooms with a play room with Montessori materials among other things, two reading and relaxation rooms and a painting room, which is also designed as a workshop or theme room. Through mindfulness, silence, observation and joy, children and adults meet each other on sometimes completely new levels.

Montessori playroom for people from 5-10 years with painting, music and different workshops.

Parallel to the playroom, the painting and workshop room is open. Various courses are held there in which you can also take part. Course topics are: Music, wood workshop, painting, herbal workshop, working with clay, creative workshops, embroidery, building dream catchers, etc. Have a look at our calendar.

HeartCircles for women

Together we experience an open exchange about existing heart issues. After a sound meditation we go into the MalRaum and bring inner images to the outside. A common round of contemplation allows us to take a mindful look at the pictures. Accompanied by Lara Jahnke (art therapist). The heart circles usually take place on Thursdays at 7 pm. It is also possible to book the offer separately as a group.

Lara Jahnke is an art and music therapist, seminar leader for expressive painting and intuitive painting. Especially soul painting in connection with meditation and conversations are a special access to one’s own creative power and healing.

The painting room offers a maximum of 8 painting places. Here is our price overview If you rent the rooms regularly, we would be happy to discuss flat-rate prices.

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.
