Workshop Details
Dates: 10–12 November 2026
Location: Kraków (the exact address will be provided to participants once registration has closed)
PLEASE NOTE: This will not be a retreat!
Participants are responsible for arranging their own accommodation.
Meals will not be provided at the workshop venue.
The entire workshop will be conducted in English and there will be no translation into Polish.
There is no fixed fee for the workshop. We will most likely share the cost of renting the venue among the participants and invite voluntary dāna, while providing a transparent breakdown of all fixed costs of the event. We feel this is the fairest and clearest approach, allowing each person to consciously decide how much they are able to contribute.
