A Satsang Seminar is not a knowledge-based or Intensive course. It's an open, intimate gathering centered around being together under the masterful guidance of Aaravindha. Most of the time will be spent in direct conversation with him, with group meditations and other supportive practices woven in throughout.

Because this is not an intensive course, there are fewer lectures with Aaravindha & meditations formally scheduled. The evening programming is yet to be determined. 

We are not able to offer discounts on the Satsang fee. The payment plan options are there to help make attendance accessible across different budgets — we hope one of them works for you.

Accommodation and meals are booked directly through Landguet Ried via their booking form below. There you can indicate your preferred room type as well as your dietary preference (vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free). Please complete your booking as early as possible, as spaces are limited.

Both Satsangs are spoken in English with live consecutive translation into German. 

Yes — booking through the Landguet Ried form is required for all day guests, without exception. The day guest fee covers full use of the facilities as well as full board, meaning all meals throughout the day are included. Please do not forget this step even if you are local or staying elsewhere.

Landguet Ried does their best to honor everyone's first choice, but as spaces are limited, your preferred option may not always be available. They maintain a waitlist — particularly for single rooms — on a first-come, first-served basis. If your first choice is no longer available, each room type offers its own charm and a genuine way to experience Landguet Ried.

Absolutely. These seminars are open to everyone, regardless of background or experience. If something in you is drawn to this, you are welcome.

Landguet Ried is located at Hilfligweg 10, CH-3172 Niederwangen bei Bern, Switzerland — easily reachable by public transport and by car. If you are traveling by car, please indicate this in the Landguet Ried booking form so they can plan parking accordingly.

Yes — meditation practices are an integral part of the Satsang. If you'd like to get started before arriving, our mentor team is available to support you. You'll find the contact link in your Library once you're logged in.

Once registered, you will be granted access to our online community and the private Satsang Circle, where you can connect with fellow participants before, during, and after the gathering.

This is a great place to meet others and/or plan carpooling, ride shares, and more. 

You'll receive instructions on how to get there after you sign up. 

We recommend packing comfortable, layered clothing suitable for sitting for extended periods —October in Switzerland can be crisp, so layers are your friend. House shoes or slippers are appreciated indoors, a journal for notes and reflections, and a blanket for your personal comfort during sessions.

Not necessarily — Landguet Ried offers a seminar package for rent at the venue, including a yoga mat, backjack or meditation cushion, and blankets, for just 3 CHF per day. A great option if you're traveling light.

Once your registration is complete, you will receive a confirmation email with everything you need to know about next steps. Please also make sure to book your accommodation through the Landguet Ried booking form if you haven't already — that step is separate and essential to secure your place on site.

Wi-Fi is available in the dining area during the day and is turned off in the evening. All rooms are equipped with an ethernet/LAN cable for a wired connection — please remember to bring an adapter if your device requires one. Due to Landguet Ried's protected geographic location, cell phone reception is marginal to non-existent. Sometimes the best signal is no signal at all.

Within 14 days of purchase, you may request a full refund provided you have not yet attended any portion of the Satsang — simply submit your request in writing within that period.

After the 14-day window, the following applies:

• cancellations before September 1 receive a refund minus a $150 administration fee.
• Cancellations between September 1 and October 1 receive a 75% refund — or a full refund minus the administration fee if your spot can be filled.
• Cancellations between October 1 and October 18 receive a 50% refund under the same condition.
• Cancellations after October 18 are non-refundable, though in cases of documented illness or emergency, a partial refund or credit toward a future Seminar may be considered.

If we are required to cancel the Satsang due to circumstances beyond our control — such as natural disasters, acts of government or public authority and public health emergencies — a full refund minus the $150 administration fee will be issued.
