Fundación Claudio Naranjo

What Fundación Claudio Naranjo does

Fundación Claudio Naranjo is a Spanish private non-profit foundation (fundación privada sin ánimo de lucro), constituted on April 19, 2007 and registered with the Spanish Ministry of Education under registration number 973 by Ministerial Order of June 5, 2007. Headquartered in Barcelona at C/ de les Santjoanistes 17, the foundation carries forward the intellectual legacy of Claudio Naranjo (1931-2019), a Chilean psychiatrist who pioneered the integration of psychotherapy, Gestalt therapy and spiritual traditions. The foundation operates three interconnected areas: the Programa SAT (Seekers After Truth) — a modular psycho-spiritual development program delivered through wholly-owned subsidiary Escuela SAT CN, S.L.; the Área de Educación Integradora — encompassing children's spaces, family encounters, adolescent and youth programs, and demographic-specific community circles; and Ediciones La Llave, S.L., a 50/50 publishing joint venture with Distribuciones Alfaomega that disseminates Claudio Naranjo's ideas and affiliated authors' works.

The foundation delivers its methodology through three primary channels: (1) recurring monthly Círculos across 14+ Spanish cities for distinct demographics (Women, Men, Teachers, Youth, EnvejeSer seniors), functioning as ongoing community support groups; (2) multi-day residential Encuentros for families, adolescents (12-17) and young adults (18-23) held at dedicated venues such as 'El Corralón' in Casavieja, Ávila and 'Casa Grande Claudio Naranjo' in Burgos; and (3) direct educational programs including the Espacio Infantil 'El Viaje de la Mariposa' for children 18 months to 6 years in Zaragoza, summer colonies, and the 'Te acompaño Me acompaño' support groups for parents. In 2026 it expanded to online delivery via the IV Ciclo de Talleres on Zoom.

The foundation's revenue model is diversified across SAT Program course fees (the foundation retains 20-30% of student tuition, the dominant revenue stream), individual activity fees ranging from €10-600 per participant, free/freemium circles supported by voluntary contributions, Ediciones La Llave publishing royalties, and donations under Spanish Law 49/2002 tax regime. The organization employs approximately 6 staff, governed by a Patronato (Board of Trustees) chaired by Francisco Elizalde, with separate coordinators for each operational area. FCN Responde, an in-house Protection Committee with formal ethical protocols, was established to handle reports of abuse and misconduct across all activities.
