Special Note Regarding Seminars, Spiritual Programs, Lodging, and Meals
The seminars, workshops, and retreats offered on this website (including meditation, prayer, spiritual discussions, and karma yoga) are intended exclusively for personal and spiritual development, education, and self-discovery.
Our offerings and spiritual guidance do not constitute medical, psychiatric, psychotherapeutic, or naturopathic treatment and cannot replace such treatments. No promises of healing are made. Participation in all offerings and program activities is at your own risk and responsibility.
The yoga sessions and movement exercises offered as part of the events are designed for beginners (basics). They are intended to promote relaxation and health. Participants are required to inform the course instructor of any physical or mental limitations before beginning the practice.
To the extent that lodging and meals are offered or arranged as part of the events, the respective agreements made at the time of booking apply. Please note that the booking of combined services consisting of a seminar, lodging, and meals may, under certain conditions, be subject to the legal provisions of package tour law (Sections 651a et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB)). If required by law, you will receive the corresponding statutory form for package tours as well as a certificate of insolvency protection prior to booking.
Note on Community Service (Karma Yoga / Volunteer Work)
The spiritual practice of Karma Yoga, as well as volunteer work within the framework of our events, is based on the principle of unpaid, voluntary, and communal participation to promote the statutory, nonprofit purposes of our gUG. This does not establish any employment, service, or contractual relationship. There is no entitlement to compensation or financial consideration.
