Generally speaking, courses, workshops and retreats start on the day of arrival with a welcome supper after typically taking the 12:05 EasyJet flight from Gatwick (which gets you to Yavanna about 4pm). They finish after breakfast on the final day and we typically leave Yavanna about 11am to get you back to Porto airport for the 14:55 flight back to Gatwick, arriving 17:20.

Please contact us if a flight from a different UK airport suits you better, or if you are arriving from another European airport. There are flights from the UK with TAP, Vueling and RyanAir.  See the travel page for more details.

The cost of each course, workshop and retreat is shown in pounds (GBP) below and depends on the room you choose. They are priced differently because of size, location, views, shared/own room, en suite/shared bath/shower room, etc.

Booked rooms are shown in red. Shared rooms with just one booking are shown in pink.

If you wish to have a shared room to yourself please add 20 pounds/day to the prices above.

The differences between the rooms are outlined below. Please contact us if you would like to discuss the options in more detail:

Notes

·      The prices shown are per person, and include:

• tuition/facilitation

• three excellent home prepared meals per day from fresh mainly organic local ingredients (The only exceptions to this are that cyclists take a cafe lunch away from Yavanna and everyone takes one or two very reasonably priced evening meals out at local restaurants, which will be at your own expense.)

• wine and beer

• comfortable accommodation

• airport transfer. (There is one set pickup/drop off provided per course)

·      Alternatively, regarding airport transfer, if a group of friends are coming together it can be very cheap to hire a car instead. Yavanna is about one hour from Porto airport, or half an hour from Vigo airport. 

·      If the airport transfer provided doesn't fit with your flight, there are also buses and trains available. And we can organise taxi transfers for 50 Euros.

·      If you wish to bring a partner or friend who prefers not to participate on a course who you are sharing a room with, please deduct 10 pounds/day from the price for that person.

Payment Options

·      A deposit of 50% is payable at the time of booking and the balance is due 6 weeks before coming to Yavanna.

·      Alternatively, to help make payments easier, we are happy to take the course fee spread across equal monthly standing orders. Please contact us for details.

·      Or finally, you can pay in full at the time of booking and save 10%.

·      We are keen that the therapeutic benefits of Yavanna's retreats and activity courses should be available to as many people as possible. Please contact us if cost is proving to be a barrier for you and we'll see what we can do, as we do offer concessions.

Terms

·     We hope you understand that it is a requirement of booking that you are fully insured. Please ensure that you are comprehensively covered against cancellation, sickness, injury, medical bills, losses, damage and all the usual holiday insurance risks.

·     You should ensure that any cancellation costs or costs incurred through making changes to your booking should be covered by your travel insurance.

·     All information on this web site is as accurate as we can possibly make it.
