Areas

Valle de Güímar-Canarias Triformed Pedagogical Circle, Santa Cruz de Tenerife Waldorf Training Center and Steiner House Tenerife

Anthroposophy Study Group and ORIFIEL Branch (Tenerife) of the Anthroposophical Society in Spain


Our entity was created in 2011 and in 2012 our morning children's play group "Lomo Grillo" began in Güímar, together with the evening artistic-manual activities for Primary. In this family space, all the seasonal parties that are celebrated in Waldorf schools were held, as well as children's activities in summer. We were in Güímar for two school years, from 2012 to 2014.

We started our journey in September 2012 in Güímar

At the same time as the educational activities, we started our training offer for adults interested in Waldorf Pedagogy and Anthroposophy. Also between 2012 and 2014, simultaneously in Güímar and Santa Cruz de Tenerife: workshops, seminars on anthroposophical study and Waldorf Pedagogy attended by people who will later be linked to our entity to a greater or lesser extent. Some continue to collaborate with us.

Beginnings of Training

From our beginnings we wanted to project ourselves in the world, in the social field: open Christmas markets, the White Night of Güímar in 2013, the public conferences of the current president of the SAE, Dr. Florencio Herrero, in the House of Culture of Güímar in 2014 and already in Arafo in 2015. We also continued with our training work, collaborating in the anthroposophical study of the Waldorf Pedagogy course that in those years was carried out in Gran Canaria, taking care of the students of Tenerife, first in Güímar and then in Arafo, where our Seminar "Internal training of the teacher" (2014-2015) was consolidated, an activity approved by the Ministry of Education of the Government of the Canary Islands, since we are an accredited entity to offer courses approved by said institution.

Our social vocation was recognized in 2013 when the Association was accredited as a Canarian Volunteer Association by the Government of the Canary Islands, and in 2015 we registered with the Volunteer Office of the Cabildo de Tenerife (current Tenerife Solidarity Island program), as well as we adhered by the same dates to the University Volunteering promoted by the University of La Laguna (ULL): throughout these years we have welcomed many volunteers, some of whom are still with us. We participated in 2015 in the Hermigua Conference (La Gomera), in the University Volunteer Conference in 2016 and 2017 (ULL), in the IES Güímar (High School) Conference in 2019, we put up a stand in the CD Tenerife stadium. As partners of the CIT of Güímar, we collaborate in the Feria del Saldo and in the Book Day , an activity in which we previously represented a table theater in the Plaza de las Flores de Güímar, thanks to the Department of Culture of the City Council. There were more little theaters in the ECLA space of the town in 2019, on the occasion of the centennial celebration of Waldorf Pedagogy... And without forgetting our presence at the NaturaSalud fair in Santa Cruz in 2014 and 2016, with a stand, workshops and conferences, and the Orotava Wool Festival in 2019.


And without forgetting the daily pedagogical work, already in our Arafo center from 2014 to date: the morning kindergarten, the activities of Primary and Secondary in the afternoon, those of the summer; seasonal parties, educational breakfasts, workshops, meetings, incorporation of new professionals to the center; the continued arrangements of the facilities, with the collaboration and invaluable help of partners, volunteers, professionals, families. Thanks also to our participation, facilitated and promoted by the Tenerife Solidarity Program, in pioneering crowdfunding campaigns in Spain for non-profit entities: 2016, 2017, 2018. Participation in social matters continued: we adhered to the "Companies + Sustainable" program of the Cabildo and the Tenerife Chamber of Commerce; We were present with great public success at the Arafo Regional Craft Fair in 2018 and 2019, thanks to the Arafo City Council, and we were invited to participate, and we participated, in the traditional Corpus salt carpets in 2019. That year we also signed the Agreement-Framework of Collaboration with the ULL -with which we already had the agreement for the internship training of university students- and we participated in the Conference of the Faculty of Education, where in June we did the University Extension Course of good practices for application in the classroom from Waldorf Pedagogy with Eurythmy and Wool Plastics.



Our training environment was intense in these years, from 2015 to the present: our introductory course to Waldorf Pedagogy in 2016, the first complete three-year approved and accredited Waldorf Pedagogy course held in the province between 2016 and 2019, with the participation of well-known teachers from other parts of the country, from all curricular areas, and the first pedagogical sessions of Tenerife Waldorf partner centres.


Participation in the Romería of August in Arafo was also a great reference in our life as an educational entity and community, a great collective party... The 2020 confinement did not mean the interruption of educational or anthroposophical work, we had to find other ways, and we found them, and implemented them, our community continued to relate and we attended to their needs, and when we were able to return to normality, what a great joy! And we returned to citizen participation, in Arafo and in other places: the Carnival sardine, promoted by the sister entity “El Carmen se mueve”, the WOW-Day, the great solidarity celebration of the Waldorf world, in which we participate every year . In 2021 we promote Triformed Pedagogy, one more step on this path...



Eurythmy, the art of movement and words and music combined in perfect harmony, is one of our backbones. Elisa Betancor is our teacher in this art and an excellent teacher for both adults and children and young people. The result of this collaboration is the Canary Islands Solidarity Eurythmy Show, held to date in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2022. The first edition was held in Candelaria in collaboration with the Villa City Council; in 2017, in the auditorium of the ULL, in collaboration with the same University, where Joan Melé also participated as a speaker; in 2016, 2017 and 2022, Elisa performed as a solo artist. In 2018 and 2020, with the collaboration of the Arafo City Council, the Show, always under the baton of Elisa herself, had a community character: our educational community acted representing versions of Mozart's The Magic Flute, and the Carnival of the Animals, of Saint-Saëns.

The V Edition was held on June 4, 2022 and is available on YouTube:





A picture is worth a thousand words. There you have the three areas of action of the Association: socio-educational, through the Valle de Güímar-Canarias Triformado Pedagogical Center; training, through the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Waldorf Pedagogy Training Center; and the socio-cultural, through the Steiner Tenerife House, whose public inauguration took place on December 11, 2021 in the Villa de Arafo Auditorium:



Regarding the strictly anthroposophical field, the Study Group was created in 2015 and that same year our center in Arafo hosted the insular meeting of anthroposophical initiatives, which was attended by Ms. Ana Lizán, then president of the SAE, and also in 2019, on that occasion under the presidency of Dr. Florencio Herrero. In 2021, the Orifiel Branch (Tenerife) was founded, publicly presented in the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Association and the presentation of the Steiner House Tenerife.



A healthy social life is found only when,

in the mirror of each soul,

the whole community finds its reflection,

and when, in the whole community,

 the virtue of each one is living.

Rudolf Steiner
