How about Less Struggle and More Participation?
Three Days. Two Formats. One Shared Learning Journey.
Experience Alé Duarte live with children, discover Flowland, and gain new perspectives on development, self-regulation and relationship through play, participation and creative processes.
If your head is spinning, you don't need another method. You need orientation.
KidSoma helps you find clear next steps for education, therapy and developmental practice.
This special training weekend offers a rare opportunity to learn live with Alé Duarte in Germany—within an intimate and highly practical setting where developmental understanding, play, somatic navigation and real-world educational practice come together.
About KidSoma
KidSoma was created by Alé Duarte to help educators, therapists and other professionals better understand children's behaviour and support them with greater clarity, connection and confidence.
Through more than 30 years of international work with schools, hospitals, humanitarian organizations and educational institutions, Alé has developed practical approaches that integrate play, somatic awareness, development and relational process facilitation.
At the heart of KidSoma is the Universe of Flowland—a shared language that helps children and adults recognize challenges and strengths without reducing children to labels or diagnoses.
Today, KidSoma frameworks are used by professionals around the world who are seeking greater orientation and more human ways of supporting children in an increasingly complex world.
More Clarity. Less Guessing.
Flowland is a living universe that helps children and adults make visible the forces behind creativity, adaptability and self-regulation.
The characters and cards of Flowland create a shared language for experiences that are often difficult to put into words. They help make strengths, challenges and next steps easier to understand, opening new possibilities for collaboration, participation and growth.
As a result, the question gradually shifts from “What should I do now?” to “What does this child need in order to move forward—and how can I support that process?”
Why Learn with KidSoma?
Grounded
The training takes place within a living school environment where developmental processes, group dynamics and participation challenges are part of everyday life.
Experience-Based
KidSoma brings together insights from more than 30 years of work with children, families, professionals, schools and international organizations across cultural and social contexts.
Practical
Take away practical tools, a shared developmental language and new perspectives that can be applied immediately in education, therapy and developmental work.
What Therapists Say
“The children are enchanted by the Flowland characters.
What touched me most is that this approach did not only enrich my clinical work — it naturally expanded into other areas such as swimming and yoga classes with children. Everything I do today is influenced by this more integrated and relational perspective.
It also changed how I see my own son. I began understanding his difficulties differently — not as problems to fix, but with more awareness, compassion and practical ways to support him.
This experience deeply impacted not only my professional work, but also the way I relate to people in everyday life.”
— Maria Gabriela Sezilio Barreto, Psychologist

How KidSoma makes your life easier
Clarity

Participation
Discover practical ways to support engagement, connection and collaboration in children and groups.
Confidence

Live-Demonstrations
A central part of the Master Class is the opportunity to observe live demonstrations with children.
Together, we will explore developmental processes, participation, stress responses and creative problem-solving as they unfold in real time. Following each demonstration, Alé will share his observations, decision-making process and the principles that guide his work.
This rare opportunity allows participants not only to hear about the work, but to experience it firsthand.
