ZEGG

„Your children are the sons and daughters of Life´s longing for itself. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth."

K.Gibran

Currently 15 children and youth of the age 2 to 18 live at ZEGG. Some are born here; most of them joined with their parents. They go to the Nature Kindergarden and to the schools in and around Belzig. The children's house offers a nest in the complexity of community life and seminar center. This is where they come to after school, for lunch, to play and to run around. The large safe grounds are ideal for them to be adventurous. The site is sports ground and expedition territory, where ideas can be explored.

For our children it is normal to have various relationships in addition to their parents. There are many possibilities to find adult friends, mentors and teachers. It is important to us that they build reliable and supportive relationships in order to develop naturally and to trust in the love of their parents and the other adults. This enables them to follow their own paths in life with self-confidence.

With the support of their parents and friends the young people at ZEGG organise their life independently. In the context of our camps and conferences young people organise their own meetings. This led to a growing network of friends.
