ARRIVING AND DEPARTING
Please plan your stay so that you are present from the first to the last day of the retreat. It is also helpful to organise all your personal preparations from home in such a way that you can begin the retreat in a relaxed way right after your arrival, without having to deal with other matters that you might have forgotten or not thought of during your prior planning and preparations.
The rooms are available starting at 16:00 on the day of your arrival, and until 12:00 on the day of your departure. If you are arriving or departing outside of office hours or on a weekend or holiday, please let us know well in advance by email.
You will be given your room key in the office. We request you to pay a deposit of 20,00 € as security, which will be refunded to you upon your departure.
Please leave your room clean and strip your bed before you leave. Participants in group retreats all take on specific jobs in the building, courtyard, kitchen and in house-cleaning. Karma yoga lists are posted where all jobs are listed with names and dates. If the rooms are not left clean, we must charge a fee of 20,00 €.
