Some guests eventually settled on the island, leading to the establishment of a Waldorf kindergarten closely linked to the Centro. The Centro has always been a place of connection, too\u2014a spot where members of The Christian Community, researchers of spiritual science, and exhausted Waldorf teachers could meet far from home. Amidst the striking volcanic rock and the Atlantic waves, many leaders of anthroposophical institutions found renewed strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic placed the facility\u2014with its 65 apartments\u2014in a challenging position. Fortunately, a dedicated board team (comprising some former regular guests) stepped up and has held responsibility since 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, a generational shift is on the horizon: a new management team is sought for the summer of 2027\u2014leaders who will preserve the spirit of the place while also bringing fresh inspiration. Succession processes often raise the question of what exactly constitutes the &#8220;spirit&#8221; of a place. To me, the Centro is more than just a place of relaxation; it is something of a &#8220;destiny stopover,&#8221; disguised as a holiday resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone with experience in hospitality, the hotel industry, and cultural management\u2014and who can envision living and working on a volcanic island\u2014is invited to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.svdg.org\/aufgaben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Schindler und von der Gathen<\/a> und <a href=\"https:\/\/centro-lanzarote.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Centro Anthopos\u00f3fico<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Translation<\/strong> Paula Boslau<br><strong>Image <\/strong>Jonas von der Gathen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Puerto del Carmen, Spanien.
