- We are always thankful for your help. If you wish to help in any way- please tell us while registering.

FAQ
What is the New Year’s retreat?
The New Year’s retreat is the main Youth of Golden Age get-together of the year. Since more than 20 years we are celebrating the turn of the year with a week of collective spiritual activities.
During the retreat we do activities together, meditate and practice Yoga techniques according to the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda. Our goal is to combine things of the world with spirituality, to take care of friends, to inspire one another and to celebrate the New year in a very special way.
Can I participate at the New Year’s retreat even if I’m older than 40 or 50 years?
Yes! To the events of the Y.O.G.A. everyone is invited who feels attracted to the settings and is or feels young.
Can I stay in a single-/ family room?
In the youth Castel there are dorms with 4 or 8 beds and plenty of extra mattresses. This unfortunately means that we can’t offer you any single rooms. As usual we will try to prepare family rooms. However there is the possibility that you will have to share it with another family.
Can I attend for only one or two nights?
Please write an email to new-years-retreat@youthofgoldenage.de and we will discuss the matter with you.
How much do I need to pay if I stay for less than 5 nights? Or arrive already on the 28th?
As we have to pay for the accommodation even if you attend less than 5 nights, we can only reduce the price with the meals. The prices are listed where you pay for the retreat.
If you arrive on the 28th in order to help out with the installations, you will have to pay for the accommodation, but you will get the food for free on that day. Please choose the additional night as well as the normal booking fee while paying if you want this option.
Is there a promotional code?
No. Unfortunately it wasn’t possible to remove this from the payment site.
Do I need to nourish myself if I have a food intolerance?
No, we will take your needs into consideration while preparing the meals. Please enter your eating habits while registering for the retreat. If necessary you may have to explain things about the special nourishments to the cooking team during the retreat.
