This event is optimized for 20 participants, at least 8 persons. The chapters WMCH, WMDE and WMAT will reimburse your travel costs on behalf of CH-Halbtax, D-Bahncard25 and A-VORTEILScard. All other lodging expenses will be paid by WMCH.
All articles about the environment of Monte Verità are to be critically reviewed and improved. In this area, there are lots of memorabilia, and relics of the former inhabitants 100 years ago. At the turn of the 20th Century the hill became the heart of a movement dedicated to spiritual search and life renewal, which involved intellectuals, academics and artists.
