There will be no tickets for single lectures just an all-inclusive price.
Why?
As this is the first EC course, everything is new and it is uncertain how things will turn out. Organizing a twelve-day event with probably some thousands people at peak times, is a big challenge for everyone involved Thus, it's much easier when you have a precise idea of how many people will be coming, and how much food and beverage must be provided.
Therefore, we keep the course prices as simple as possible and count on the trust and mutual support from each and everyone of you.
Naturally, we hope that as many people as possible will be coming. During this pioneering course, we will gain invaluable experiences that will be of great benefit for future events at the EC site. Let's make this an unforgettable course and jointly improve the whole setup in the coming years.
The closest airports are:
Munich: www.munich-airport.de
Friedrichhafen: www.fly-away.de
Memmingen: www.allgaeu-airport.de
You might also want to follow the links to find out more about transfer options to Immenstadt, where the shuttle will bring you to the course location :-). You can also check out: www.bahn.de for information about trains in Germany.
Yes, of course, no problem! As long as you watch out when going down that you don't crash into the shuttle bus :-)
Yes, sure, there will be a baby-tent with streaming and all amenities needed.
Actually, this year's prices are on average LOWER than in the last years in Kassel. The registration fees only cover the direct costs for running the course and the purchase of necessary equipment that we can use in future courses.
Everyone arriving after 6.00 pm pays half-price.
If you stay overnight and participate on the program on the 25th of August, you will have the course program free of charge.
As explained above, we have an all-inclusive price covering food, water, medical care, sanitary equipment, phowa-sessions, lectures and meditations with our Lamas, and a lot of time and fun with our friends from all around the world. Of course you can provide food for yourself, but you are not allowed to use a camping stove since we are in a nature protection area; however there is no price reduction.
So maybe you just enjoy our delicious meals together with all the other friends.
Manor Hochreute was built in the beginning of the 20th century to meet the needs of a single upper-middle-class family, and was since then never fundamentally modernized.
Therefore the better part of the necessary investments has to be used for extension of the infrastructure that has to cope with the requirements of the summercourse with it’s huge number of participants.
To this day (June 2008) there are 6.6. million Euro to our disposal, viz. savings, that were accrued over the last ten years in the foundation, as well as our direct donations and the donations from our german "loan- and gift-communities" we spent about 4.4 million Euro for the purchase- and purchase-side-costs, especially conveyance duty. A further 1.4 million were used for construction of water-supply and waste-water-disposal. Manor Hochreute will for the first time be connected to the public water-mains and a buffer store will be contructed on the estate to secure drinking-water-supply for course-participants in peak times.
Over the last weeks the 1.5 kilometer street to Manor Hochreute and the paths on the estate were fixed, parking- and turning-round-areas were built and the necessary high-voltage-supply was constructed, with costs of around 0.5 million Euro. A further 300 000 Euro are needed to prepare the estate for the summercourse (showers, restrooms, excavations) and to fix the existing buildings up for our requirements (sleeping-, meeting-, team- and doctor's rooms )
You just have to register each time period of your stay separately :-)
