LimosaLimosa House Rules
We kindly ask all participants to respect the following house rules during our retreats:
- LimosaLimosa is a smoke-free environment. However, there is a designated smoking area in the car park.
- The use of alcohol, drugs, including psychedelics in any form, is strictly prohibited during the retreat.

- You are a guest at our retreat centre. We provide you with a safe and welcoming environment for you and other participants. Should any damage occur to the property, it will be charged to the person responsible.
- The owners of LimosaLimosa live on-site, where there is also a private swimming pool and hot tub. Participants are welcome to use these facilities as guests during warm weather, but entirely at their own risk. These facilities are not part of LimosaLimosa's business operations.
- The food products provided at our retreat may contain allergens (European Regulation 1169/2011). Please inform us of any allergies in advance, and we will do our best to accommodate them, but we cannot accept responsibility. Always ask our staff for more information on-site.
- Taking photos, videos, or sound recordings during the retreat or training is only allowed for a maximum of 10 minutes after the session has ended. It is not allowed to take photos/videos of other participants unless explicit permission is given.
- Participants who do not follow the house rules or do not comply with the instructions of the LimosaLimosa team may be removed from the retreat or training. This does not entitle the participant to a refund of course fees.
- The accommodation may only be occupied by the maximum number of people specified in the reservation, with one person per bedroom.
- The use of barbecues is not allowed due to fire risks (thatched roof), and candles are also not allowed in the bedrooms. The only fire permitted is in the fire pit, fireplaces, and stoves.

Dishwashers should either be running or emptied when the guest leaves the accommodation.
- Pets are not allowed at LimosaLimosa.

- The use, administration, or assistance in the use of psychedelics or related substances, as well as any form of drugs, is strictly prohibited on the LimosaLimosa premises and within 200 meters of it. This entitles LimosaLimosa to terminate the agreement immediately and ask the guest and participants to leave the premises. In such cases, no refund of the rent or part thereof will be provided, and LimosaLimosa is under no obligation to provide any other form of compensation.
- In the event of a breach of the rules included in these General Terms and Conditions, LimosaLimosa's house rules, and/or failure to follow staff instructions, LimosaLimosa reserves the right to access the accommodation and/or immediately remove the guest and any other users from the premises, without a refund of the rent or part thereof, and without entitlement to any other compensation.
