Dear ANANDA friends,
… it goes on …
In this newsletter we would like to inform you about the current developments at ANANDA, share our vision for the future with you and announce the events of the next three months. In the future you will also have the opportunity to rent our ANANDA yurt in Wahlweiler, Deggenhausertal for your own events. We are very much looking forward to meeting you in one context or another!
What happened until now: We have been very active in the last few months. We have updated the website and drawn up a program for the yurt. On the website you can now find all the events that are taking place in the yurt this year.
As already mentioned above, you can now book the yurt for your own events. Please send inquiries via the homepage directly to: Martina Kugler (kugler@freie-schule-ananda.de) or Stephanie Bunk (harmony-with-nature@ posteo.de).
We began the annual festivals in the yurt last year with the summer solstice festival and are fulfilled and grateful that we have been able to celebrate every festival so far. Many wonderful encounters have come about as a result and we look forward to many more with you.
Our visions for the future: The ANANDA project will develop in three directions: locally through the offerings in the yurt, to create a space for encounters and community and to bring aspects of our concept to life.
Our plans for an ANANDA school on Lake Constance are not out of sight or out of mind. As soon as the appropriate circumstances have been formed, such as suitable teaching staff, donations and supporters, we will continue to focus on the realization of a school on Lake Constance.
Since it will probably be easier to make an ANANDA school a reality abroad than in Germany, another focus will be the opening of ANANDA schools internationally. A project is currently underway in Cameroon.
We would be delighted if you would support our vision in one way or another. You can do this in the form of donations, help in finding a place on Lake Constance or by promising active support if needed. If you are a teacher or know one and are interested in helping to make the ANANDA vision a reality, we look forward to receiving applications.

The garden gnomes invite the children to discover the diversity of the plant world. Together we explore the plants and trees with all our senses and the children learn what wonderful things you can make from them. We always make something beautiful out of a plant or do some handicrafts, depending on the plant and the theme of the day. A suitable program is designed depending on the season and the weather. Compensation: On a donation basis. Login here
Annual festivals for children and adults (with Martina and Sarah)
When celebrating the annual festivals, it is a matter close to our hearts to create a space of lightness for young and old and to reconnect with the cycles of the year together. By celebrating the annual festivals, we experience the cycle of nature more consciously and feel the connection to Mother Earth, who gives us all life. Together we celebrate and experience the respective year's quality in nature with all our senses. In a guided part, we sing together, listen to stories, perform rituals and create something creative, appropriate for the festival. For dinner, there are always delicacies appropriate to the season. Everyone is invited to bring their own dishes to make our festival sustainable. A donation basket is available for food and drinks and our efforts.
