By registering, each participant undertakes to pay the costs incurred, which are divided into a) seminar fee (745€), b) meals (230€) and c) accommodation (depending on the desired room). Catering and accommodation will be paid in cash on arrival on the Finca on 20.9.2020. After making the payment of the retreat fee (745€) via money transfer, the participant will receive an invoice with an overview of her booking.

The participant undertakes to pay Saskia Schreiber 50% of the total amount of the Catering and accommodation (depending on the room category selected on the registration form) after invoicing if no substitute participant is provided. If a substitute participant is appointed, the latter undertakes to pay 100% of the stated seminar fee.

Liability

Participation in the seminar is at your own risk. The participant exempts the seminar leader, Saskia Schreiber, from all liability claims to the extent permitted by law. The seminar is not a substitute for psychotherapeutic treatment. If you are not physically or mentally able to cope with full stress, if you are in an acute psychological crisis (suicidal risk, severe depression, psychotic states), do not feel stable in everyday life or are dependent on support from third parties, the seminar leader, Saskia Schreiber, advises against participating in the seminar.

If you have any restricting medical condition (physical problems, such as problems with your intervertebral disc, joint problems, high blood pressure, eye pressure) and/or taking psychotropic drugs, discuss your participation in the seminar with your doctor or therapist beforehand and inform the seminar leader, Saskia Schreiber, before starting your journey.

Retreat

Please mark Mai 15, 19:30 – 21:00, for the preliminary meeting in your calendar! The venue is to be announced. The retreat already starts with your registration. It is therefore desirable to attend the preliminary meeting, in order to have the right mindset for your upcoming retreat. An effective debriefing and integration of your experiences is usually more important than preparation. Therefore, we decide on the last day of our retreat time if a debriefing meeting is desirable. The participation for the meeting is paid by each woman individually (approx. 30€).

Retreat language

English & German

Cancellation insurance

Each participant takes out cancellation insurance for her own cover. Photo and video: The retreat might be accompanied by a photographer who will take both photos and videos in selected moments and sessions.

Travel planning

at the beginning of the seminar, September 20, 2020, we will meet together at 15:30 at the Paloma Cafe in San Lorenzo. We will wait there for all participants and drive to our Finca together. If you cannot arrive at the agreed meeting point, you will be responsible for your own journey to the Finca.

* The official start of the seminar is the joint dinner at 6.30 p.m. All participants agree to have moved into their rooms and to be present at the Finca by then.

* The official end of the seminar is the joint brunch on September 26, 2020.

Car rental

Due to the very rural area of our retreat location, a rental car is recommended. It is a good idea to rent a car together with other participants.
