Organisational Information

Below you will find the main information on registering for a course, meals, accommodation possibilities, and how to get here.

Registration, Cancelling a Registration, Payment:
You must register for a course in writing and send it by e-mail, fax, or post. A contact form for registering online and a form for registering by fax is found here. Please provide your telephone number and whether you want a room! The registration only becomes valid once the course fees have been transferred to our bank account:

We will send you the confirmation of registration by e-mail, or by regular post if specially requested. For organisational reasons, it is important that we receive the registration two weeks at the latest before the course begins. Courses are only held if a minimum number of people register for them. Registration at short notice is possible in exceptional cases. With the registration, you are deemed to have accepted our Standard Business Terms. Although we prefer online registrations, we are happy to receive registrations by fax or post as well. If you wish, we will include your e-mail address in our mailing list for the Kamalashila newsletter. This will ensure that you are up to date on all upcoming events and seminars added at short notice. Please let us know if you would like to receive information in this way.

Miscellaneous:
Kamalashila Institute is unable to get by without the support of its voluntary workers and the help of its guests. Every person attending a course is therefore asked to help out during the day in the house or the garden.

Although children are very welcome in Kamalashila, we are unable to provide child care. Parents are therefore responsible for caring for and supervising their children themselves.

Smoking and the consumption of alcohol or drugs is not allowed on our premises.

Pets are also not allowed.

Check-in begins at 4 p.m.

Please bring warm clothing.
