About us

FAL — Freude am Leben e. V. is a non-profit association from Berlin. We are committed to holistic health, prevention and a better quality of life.

The association

The FAL health association promotes public education about health and natural healing — based on the laws of nature and in the fields of research, education and teaching. We draw on both established classical and alternative, complementary methods, combined with healthy ways of living based on recent scientific findings.

The association was founded in Berlin and is based here. Our members and supporting members are people who promote and support health. One of our central aims is to carry out projects with health experts from Germany and abroad.

The FAL health association keeps growing through the contributions and the impulses of its members and partners. Out of this, a statement has grown that we would like to carry into the world.

Berlin — the health capital of the world

Berlin reflects metropolises such as New York, Paris, London and Moscow, and international ideas about health can be found everywhere here. Berlin has long been a capital of creative ideas around vegan and vegetarian food and lifestyles — with beekeeping and urban gardening in the middle of the city. Add to that sustainability, for example in solar energy, and the new, sometimes already self-sufficient ways of living that come with it in a modern, forward-looking city.

And FAL stands for Freude am Leben — joy of life. We see that joy as the basis of everything. We take part with great pleasure ourselves, we want to create something with our association, inspire others and invite them to experience themselves and their surroundings anew.

Aims and values

Our association welcomes controversy and debate without being hurtful towards other people, associations or institutions. We deliberately do not want to exclude anyone — not even when we do not share an opinion or clearly distance ourselves from it.

We still see wars in the world: not only between states and groups, but also in everyday life — in the street, in business, in the neighbourhood, in relationships, families and among friends. That is not what we want to become. With our association we stand up for what is positive, sustainable and connecting. Our guiding principles have grown out of this.

  • 1Tolerance, respect and values
  • 2Recognition and appreciation
  • 3Community, common ground, contrasts and debate
  • 4Feelings, love, hate
  • 5Depth and simplicity
  • 6War and peace
  • 7Sustainability, health and modernisation

Guiding principles are an orientation for us — and at the same time something that keeps developing.
