The high speed train that links Paris with Brussels and finally Amsterdam has a stop at Amsterdam Shiphol International Airport which is very convenient for fellow practitioners coming from afar. The Organisation Committee will meet and greet you at the airport where you will be able to take a shuttle to the hotel, which is about a 15 minute ride.
On the occasion of this seminar, the Organisation Committee has wished for you to be able to visit the world famous “KEUKENHOF” flower gardens.
This is why the Organisation Committee chose The Netherlands and organised the seminar earlier than other years, during spring, when the tulips will be blossoming and you can enjoy the beauty this country has to offer.
We will visit the Keukenhof flower gardens on the morning of Monday 22/04/2020 as it is the beginning of the week and there will be fewer tourists than at the end of the week. You can enjoy taking photos of the beautiful flowers and tulips. Every year more than 1.5 million tourists from all 4 corners of the world visit these gardens.
The Seminar hotel is located at about 14 km from the flower gardens.
The Organisation Committee is endeavouring to concentrate on spiritual study with a complete renewal of the programme for 2020 which will be more relevant as Master has often suggested. Due to the fact that the duration of the seminar is very short, the Organisation Committee has dedicated 5 sessions to spiritual study in order to present very concrete topics that will assist you in examining, exchanging, learning and revising the sublime superhuman words of our Master.
There will also be sessions during which all the Fellow Practitioners will be able to have fun in an atmosphere of joy whilst at the same time bringing their contribution to the study of the Truth within communal lucidity, purity and lightness, thus conforming to the Master’s words “to rejoice and to have fun in serenity is true joy”
The theme of this Seminar will be “On the Dharma path and the Discovery of the mysteries of our wonderful body”.
During the course of our spiritual study, the inner as well as the external obstacles that we face will be thoroughly explored within truth, with the effective contribution of all the fellow practitioners.
After that, the Fellow Practitioners will examine our Master’s mottos with the view of overcoming these thorny obstacles. The important things that our Master often reminded us of and that he wished for us to retain during the course of our spiritual journey will be revised.

Fellow Practitioners from Europe coming to the Seminar with their own car may visit the Keukenhof flower gardens by their own means and return to their home afterwards without the need to stay an extra night at the hotel, thus avoiding the extra hotel costs. They can purchase entrance tickets to the gardens with a group discount (20 persons).
The Organisation Committee can purchase tickets for them if their group is less than 20 people.
Fellow Practitioners arriving with their own car must register in advance to reserve a parking space within the hotel (free of charge only for the first 40 cars).
Fellow Practitioners participating in the Tour but who do not wish to visit the flower gardens will be brought back by bus at around 15.00 to the airport to get their flight home or to Amsterdam Railway Station. They will not need to stay an extra night at the hotel.
Fellow Practitioners coming from afar and participating in the Tour will need to stay an extra night after visiting the flower gardens and Amsterdam City Centre. Amsterdam City Centre is very small so they will be able to visit it by foot. Those who are unable to walk a lot may come straight back to the hotel after visiting the flower gardens and rest.
Fellow Practitioners are responsible for their own meals during the flower garden and City Centre visits.
Habitually, high speed train tickets from Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam are available for purchase at advantageous prices up to 4 months in advance. You can purchase tickets direct to Amsterdam Shiphol Airport without having to go to the centre of Amsterdam.
After the Seminar you can visit other European cities such as Paris, Brussels or Berlin by train as the stations are all situated in the centre of these cities.
The number of places for the seminar is limited. If you do intend to participate at the seminar then please think of registering as soon as possible.
If you do register but decide to change your mind before 15/11/19, you will be entitled to a full refund.
