Thank you for your interest in our courses.

In order for us to provide you with the best possible service, we ask for your attention to a few important pieces of information. By signing up for a course you agree to the terms and conditions, be sure to read them! 

 

What you need to know:

  • Registration is done exclusively through the online form, which you will find a link to in the description of the specific course. Unfortunately, we cannot accept any other form of application.

  • In the form, you need to fill in basic information (first name, last name, date of birth, permanent residence, telephone, e-mail), which is used to register the residents with the Kolín.

  • Next, you choose the type of room, there are 5 places in single rooms, 10 places in double rooms and 15 places in triple rooms (unless the course structure requires a different composition).​

  • Please also let us know if you plan to come by car - there is limited parking at the monastery.

  • If you are interested in a discount for students, seniors, or people with lower incomes, please indicate this information in the comments section of the form. We understand that balancing daily expenses, caring for loved ones, and time for yourself can be challenging at certain times in life. That's why we offer individual discounts to those who cannot currently afford our full service or program - whether you are a student, senior, single parent, or otherwise going through a difficult time. Just let us know in the comments section. We hope you understand why the prices are set the way they are - they help us keep the house running so it can continue to serve as a safe and open space for all who need it.

  • You will receive a response to your application within 5 business days. An invoice requesting payment will then arrive approximately 1-2 weeks prior to the start of the course.

  • The application form is binding. If you decide to cancel your participation, you may be subject to the cancellation policy below.

​

General information 

  • The courses are for adults aged 18 and over. Younger participants aged 15 and over may attend exceptionally by individual arrangement with the accompanying tutor.

  • Parking is limited - we recommend using public transport or arranging carpooling.

  • Participation with animals (dogs, cats, etc.) is not possible.

  • Spiritual exercises, meditation and being in silence can be a sensitive experience. If you are currently experiencing mental discomfort, taking medication, or under the care of a psychiatrist, please consult in advance of your participation. If in doubt, please do not hesitate to contact us.

​

Accommodation and practical information

  • We offer 5 single, 5 double and 5 triple rooms - all with private bathroom.

  • No need to bring linen or towels, just slippers and an alarm clock.

  • We recommend you arrive between 16:00 and 17:30 so you can check in and tune in to the programme.

  • Arrival or departure outside of the specified time is possible only exceptionally and by arrangement with the accompanying lecturer.

  • The stay will also include help in the garden and with the maintenance of the house - for example, watering, cleaning or working with plants. Please pack suitable clothing and sturdy shoes for outdoor exercise and simple manual activities.

​

Cancellation and cancellation policy - why and how


We understand that unexpected circumstances may arise that prevent you from attending a course. In order to ensure the smooth running of the course and to treat all participants and the organising team with respect, we have set out the following cancellation policy:

  • More than 30 days before the start of the course - no cancellation fee. In this case, you have the option to cancel your participation without any costs and we will be able to offer the place to other candidates.

  • 29-11 days before the course - cancellation fee of 20% of the full price. During this period we invest time in preparation and close the capacity of the course.

  • 10-4 days before the course - 30% of the full price. Here the organizational costs are already in full swing and the vacancies are harder to fill.

  • Less than 4 days before the course - 50% of the full price. This close to the start date we usually cannot find a replacement.

  • No cancellation and no participation in the course - 70% cancellation

  • If a participant fails to show up without prior cancellation, we incur non-refundable costs and also lose the opportunity to offer the place to another interested participant. Please cancel only by e-mail: kurzy@kolinskyklaster.org

​

Thank you for your understanding and consideration. These rules help us to keep our courses accessible, well prepared and fair to all participants. We look forward to spending time together at the Kolín Monastery!

 

Types of Courses by Difficulty

Courses vary in focus, depth and who they are for. To help you choose the most suitable one, we offer a simple breakdown:

 

Level A - Introductory courses

Ideal for a first introduction to methods of personal experience, prayer, contemplation, meditation or mindfulness. No previous experience is necessary.

 

Level B - Advanced

Suitable for those who have already taken another course or have their own spiritual or meditation practice. Courses at this level can be more physically and mentally challenging.

 

Level C - Advanced

Designed for graduates of Level B courses. They build on previous experience and assume a deeper immersion in the subject matter.
