Football, Yoga & Meditation Retreat

Printer-friendly view of this page.
During the first week of the upcoming world championships football (soccer) the Buddhist Youth Project organizes a brand-new programme called the Football, Yoga & Meditation Retreat. The programme - which will take place from the 13 - 19th of June at Schloss Heinsheim in Germany - will have a very active programme with Yoga, running, walks in the beautiful nature of the region and playing football of course.

The mornings will be reserved for meditation and teachings, afternoons for yoga, playing football, or simply relaxing in the countryside, and in the evenings there is the option to watch the matches on a big screen in Heinz, the Schloss Heinsheim pub. For newcomers, the retreat will offer an introduction to Buddhism and meditation, as well. As a Buddhist Youth Project offering, the retreat is meant for people in their teens, twenties or thirties.

The price of the 7 day/6 night retreat will be 240 Euros (approx. 34 Euros/day) for a stay in a two-person room of the four star hotel and includes three simple meals a day. If you would like to reserve one of the big and luxury castle rooms the costs will be 420 Euros (approx. 60 Euros/day). For people who wish to have a single room to themselves the price is 660 Euros (approx. 94 Euros/day).

If people face difficulties coming because of the price please contact the coordinator for a possible scholarship.

Many thanks to Schloss Heinsheim for sponsoring the program with significantly discounted hotel rates. For information about hotel Schloss Heinsheim please see http://www.schloss-heinsheim.de.
