We are very happy to be able to spend the SRF World Convocation week this year again in a wonderful retreat house.
As in 2020, we will design the program in such a way that we can immerse ourselves in as many online Convocation events as possible (probably without German subtitles). Furthermore, we will meditate together in the mornings and evenings, spend time in nature (walks, games and sports activities), organize kirtans, cook and eat vegetarian food. And the children will surely have their bright joy in the garden and the play barn!
The retreat will take place at Dürerhof, which is pretty much in the middle of Germany, about 50 km southeast of Kassel. We have reserved the entire house and can accommodate 30 to 60 yoginis and yogis. Surrounded by a beautiful forest and meadow landscape we can bathe equally in the peace and power of nature as well as the Divine Convo vibrations!
The Dürerhof consists of different buildings with 3 to 6 piece bedrooms. There are also a few double rooms (traditionally families have priority here). Bed linen and towels are included in the price (see below). For those who want to, there is the possibility to camp, if you can bring your own tent. Please indicate this in the registration form.
The retreat starts on Sunday, August 14 at 7 pm and ends on Sunday, August 21 at 2 – 3 pm. You can arrive on August 14 already from 5 pm.
The exact address is:
Dürerstr. 3
37284 Waldkappel-Gehau
Information on how to get there can be found on the Dürerhof website: https://duererhof.com/anfahrt
You can find more detailed information such as bus connections in the FAQs and we are also happy to help you organize carpools.
Note: At the moment the Corona rules are relaxed and we assume that this will also be the case in August. However, we cannot guarantee this. If we have to cancel the retreat due to measures, you will of course get your money refunded. Just in case, we ask all participants who do not live in Germany to inform themselves about the entry and exit rules of their country as well as the Corona measures in Germany.
Registration
The price for accommodation and vegetarian/vegan meals is for 7 nights:
Adults: 360 EUR
Children (4 to 17): 170 EUR
Children up to 3 years are free.
If you stay less than 7 nights, you pay a little less (see registration form). But we ask you to consider that especially during the Convo week there is a very special atmosphere and you make a valuable contribution if you can stay from the beginning to the end. Unfortunately we can’t give you a discount for camping this time. If you have a small budget, you can contact Oliver with a request for a discount: treasurer@youthofgoldenage.de. For this retreat it is only possible to pay by bank transfer. We will inform you about the bank details at a later date.
Please register as soon as possible (this helps us with the planning ;)) via this link!
For any questions please refer to the FAQ in the registration form.
If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact our organizing team (the dear Karma-Yogini Michaela as well as the extended board): convo-retreat@youthofgoldenage.de
Please note: If you have to cancel your booking at short notice, we will still have to charge you a partial amount, as we have to pay for both the occupancy and the food ahead of time and otherwise we will be stuck with the costs. Therefore, if you cancel after July 20, we will charge you 50 percent of the retreat fee, and after August 1, 80 percent. We ask for your understanding in this matter!
