The maximum number of participants has been reached. But as there may be cancellations you can still ask to be put on the 'waiting list'. Just send an email to our treasurer.
Cancellation requests received up to 30 days prior to the retreat will receive a full refund, less a €50 administrative fee. Cancellations received within 30 days of the event will receive a refund of 50% of the amount already paid. Please contact ihsan@sufiway.org
We will have lunch and evening meal together (included in the fee for the workshop). Breakfast, however, will be up to the participants themselves. (Please Note that the volunteers working in the Universel at that hour will not have time to facilitate tea or coffee and that the fridge is strictly reserved for the common meals.)
For all questions regarding the meals: write to our secretary.
A fairly detailed and up-to-date description can be found here: sufiway.nl/umh/route.htm

The retreat almost completely relies on volunteers; not just for the organisation but also for the day-to-day tasks. Somewhere there will be a schedule of such tasks with the option of putting your name in. (It's not obligatory, but if you do put your name on the board please stick to your commitment or you'll leave others in the cold.)
All sessions will be recorded; edited versions of these will be made available for all participants in the weeks after the retreat. Making your own sound- or video recordings is discouraged for reasons of privacy. You can of course make photographs outside of the sessions. If you do, please share them with us! But please don’t put them up on social media if they show recognisable faces.
Please contact Nadaly: secretaris@sufiway.nl).
