Concerning Minors
Parents are fully responsible for their children up to the age of 18. Any minor (<18) on the premises must be under the formal care of a supervising adult.
In the absence of their parents, children under 18 must bring a signed document from their parents with the name and telephone number of the person who is responsible for them during their stay in Cabella. All small children must be watched at all times!
Teenagers are expected to participate in and attend evening programs and meditation.
Stalls & Stands
Whenever there is a puja in Cabella, Casa Madre receives many requests from Sahaja Yogis who wish to set up a stall. To avoid an unnecessarily “commercial” climate in a place that we all consider holy, Casa Madre is restricting stalls to fundraising and art exhibitions only. Moreover, there are further limitations as we also need to comply with Italian legislation relating to trading.
Only heads of projects of international or national significance may apply on the following link: Stall & Stands.
Transport
It will be possible to organise collective transport from/to airports or train stations. Please visit the following link: Cabella Transport.
If you want to organise your own transport to Cabella, please follow the instructions given on the following link: Guide to reach Cabella
Please PRINT and bring with you the “RECEIPT OF DONATION” that will be sent to you upon form submission. This will help to speed up your registration process upon arrival.
