VOLUNTEERS & COMMUNITY

Even though we have some members of staff, our team is made largely by volunteers. One way in which we honor their help is by offering the possibility to participate in some of the classes during their spare time.

For this reason, in order to host an event at Shambala Gatherings, we ask the teacher to open one class per day to the community (volunteer team).

You can expect a max of 4 volunteers in the Shakti Hall and a max of 2 volunteers in the Budha Hall per class (unless the space is full). Please let us know in advance if this is a problem for you.

Our customers are invited to support our volunteer community through the simple seva (selfless action) of cleaning their own dishes. This simple but helpful act, brings the “serving” and the “served” together as one united community, and is an act of gratitude and generosity towards our volunteer team. Thank you.

TEACHER DOWN PAYMENT & CANCELLATION POLICY

1. To confirm your booking, you will be requested to pay a deposit of 5000kr (up to 3 nights) or 8000kr (up to 7 nights) +12%VAT. This deposit will be returned if the booking is cancelled more than 5 months in advance. For retreats 8 nights or more please inquire for the deposit set up. 
2. We will ask for a fee of 500kr + 12% vat in order to publish your event on our website. We ask all our teachers to be willing to have their events on our website.
3. If you are booking the Admin and Marketing Kit, you will also be asked to pay each kit in advance. Please note that neither of these fees are refundable should you decide to cancel your booking.
4. We will invoice you for the rest after the retreat has ended. If we have taken the bookings for you (with the Admin Kit), we will ask you to send us an invoice as soon as the retreat has finished.

Note: Should you have less bookings than the minimum number, we can still go ahead with your retreat, so long as the minimum number of guests is paid for.

FINAL CLARIFICATIONS

Please allow for us to make a 5 minute welcome & information talk on the first group session of your retreat.

– Silence & silent breakfast:
At Shambala, it is silent between 22h and 10h, and we aim at having our breakfasts in silence. It is a sacred moment for us to catch our breaths and be in stillness before the dynamism of the day starts. Please let us know in advance if this would be a problem for you.

– Ceremonial Fires:
We are happy to arrange for a ceremonial fire for you inside our tipi or in our sweat-lodge area. We ask you to please be mindful and to not leave these fires unattended at any time.

– Forward Travel:
Please note that we don’t take responsibility for the arrangement of the forward travel of any of the guests or teachers.

– Sheets:
In an effort to being as ecological as possible, we ask guests to bring their own sheets. This is a normal custom in Swedish hostels. Customers can rent sheets and towels from us for 200kr inclusive of tax. Teachers will receive sheets from us free of charge.

We provide laundry services if your retreat is more than 10 days in duration for 100kr per bag including vat.
