Preparing for Your Stay with FAQ

Normally you will first receive a free initial consultation in which all formalities and the booking process are discussed. Alternatively, you can also enquire at institute@almae.de and exchange all information by email.
If you think that everything fits, you will receive an offer by e-mail with different room categories including contracts. If the offer suits you and you have decided on a room category and a possible accompanying person, you will receive a corresponding invoice with payment information.
The treatment contracts serve as advance information at the time of the offer. This allows you to prepare yourself at home and ask any questions you may have. We will also go through the contracts together on the first day of your stay before you sign them.

The contracts provide us with a framework for our agreements and information on ALMAE Way in order to facilitate our collaboration and make it transparent.

To fully embrace your time with us, we encourage you to explore our website and YouTube channel in detail. This will help you understand the core principles of ALMAE Way and how we approach healing and personal developement. First enlightenment and a bit theory. If you still have any lingering questions, don’t worry—our team is here to answer them via email or arrange an appointment.

If your start date is a few weeks away, we recommend engaging in pre-cleansing days or even therapeutic fasting to prepare your body and mind for the transformative healing and growth ahead.

Pack with comfort in mind. You’ll need:

– Comfortable clothing for yoga and meditation.

– Sturdy walking shoes for hikes in nature.

– Weather-appropriate, cozy clothing.

– Two pairs of swimwear and bathing shoes for NaturSPA area.

– A drinking bottle and a rucksack for your hikes.

Please also bring something nice to wear to dinner, as meals at our restaurant are a time to relax and savor healthy, delicious cuisine.

Yes, you’re welcome to bring a family member or companion. But Manuel doesn’t recommend it. His philosophy is that clients deal 100% with themselves. Having support during your healing and change journey can be beneficial, but can also distract you. Group work is part of the ALMAE Way philosophy, and you’ll find the collective energy of the group also aids in your self-healing and growth process. Finally its most important to focus on yourself.

No medical documentation is required to register, as we are not a clinical facility. However, it’s important that you are physically and mentally fit. We do recommend bringing your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or private health insurance details, just in case of emergency.

Almae is quality and abundance. If you consider yourself suitable for participation and make an enquiry, we will send you a personalized offer regarding the room category you choose. The cost includes your accommodation, wellness activities, daily treatments, and nutritious meals. You’ll enjoy access to our “NaturSPA,” Manuel’s morning routine with interoception, yoga sessions, energy medicine and/or spiritual healing, frequency therapies, and guided nature hikes, as well as taxi rides to our special healing and energy locations.

So we have the advantage of using a lot of free energy. But part of the ALMAE Way is also to show yourself that you are investing in your health and spiritual development. The energy of the 4 Stars environment and fullness also helps you. So in 3 weeks with treatments you still end up with a tidy sum, but every part is more than worth it.  Request your quote here.

Important note:

In cultures where family and community play a particularly central role, we encourage you not to take on extreme financial burdens such as selling possessions or taking out loans in order to give a relative access to ALMAE Way. Please contact the founder in advance to discuss individual solutions and options.

The ALMAE way is built around the power of 21 days—the time needed to form new habits and embed deep healing and growth. This program allows you the space to process emotions, rewire your mind-body connection, and embrace lasting changes for your well-being. Following the 21/90 rule, after 21 days, a new practice becomes a habit; after 90 days, it becomes second nature.

We are here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring you have the time and support to integrate these new habits into your life. Just as the physical level needs this time to heal.

There is a hospital (Westpfalz-Klinikum) in close proximity. However, you should be able to do without a doctor for 3 weeks.

Our program follows a 21-day cycle, designed to give you the full benefit of the light body healing experience. If all spots are filled, you’ll be added to the waiting list for the next available cycle. We aim to welcome you as soon as possible.

You’ll begin your healing on a Monday morning after a restful night. We recommend arriving on Sunday afternoon to settle in and prepare for your journey.

Once you arrive at the nearby railway station or Frankfurt airport, a shuttle service will bring you to our institute. We’ll send you the contact details in advance so that your journey here is as stress-free as possible.

Yes, ALMAE requires payment in advance. We are guests in a hotel and, as always, I can only book this for you once you have paid. The same applies to my team of freelance therapists, shamans and yogis, who will book for you.

You will receive information on payment in the offer.

If your home country is outside the SEPA area, ALMAE is looking for the most favourable provider for the money transfer. This is often Wise or Western Union, depending on the charges in your country. Direct payment by credit card would be more expensive.

At the end you will receive all the information you need to transfer money online.

Your healing experience includes plenty of opportunities for relaxation. You can unwind in our NaturSPA, take peaceful walks through the park or old town, or simply rest in nature. The weekends offer free time for self-organized activities or excursions to nearby sights. Every moment is designed to support your healing and rejuvenation.

The hotel’s service staff are always on-site, even at night and at weekends. We are sure that you are in good hands. Please note, however, that there is no nursing staff. In the event of an emergency, there is a hospital in close proximity.

There are generally no documents. You are welcome to write your own “book of wisdom” about the ALMAE way. Carry it with you during your stay and write down your insights.

Absolutely. We care about your ongoing well-being and are always available to answer your questions or offer guidance after your stay. You’ll be provided with a dedicated email address, and if needed, we can arrange follow-up consultations.
