Clear answers before fit, travel, or any future application.

ALMAE is a selective fourteen-day sacred-inner immersion in Germany: a bounded group process for psychologically stable, self-responsible adults at a genuine point of reorientation.

ALMAE describes its orientation as sacred-inner work within the ALMAE Way. This is neither generic wellness nor a promise of transformation. References to wholeness, energy, nature, God, or healing express a spiritual orientation; they do not describe autonomous powers, clinical effects, or promised outcomes.

Each day is held by a clear but quiet rhythm: shared orientation, time in nature, guided inner attention, periods of silence, simple integration and enough space to rest. ALMAE does not publish a public timetable or the inner sequence of the immersion. The structure is shared with accepted participants in the right context, so the work can stay protected, undramatic and personally held.

It is the framework behind the immersion: perception, feeling, embodiment, expression, responsibility, and integration held within structure, rhythm, honest seeing, and lived return. It is not a doctrine, diagnosis, or authority over another person’s life.

No. ALMAE neither provides nor promises healing, treatment, or a health outcome. Any reference to healing belongs to spiritual belief, not to a result produced by the programme, a guide, a practice, or a participant’s effort.

No. ALMAE does not diagnose, treat, prescribe, provide psychotherapy, trauma or addiction treatment, detoxification, crisis stabilization, medical care, or emergency support. It does not replace appropriately qualified care and is not monitored for urgent help. In immediate danger or an acute crisis, contact the appropriate local emergency or crisis service.

ALMAE is not the right setting for someone in an acute psychological crisis, active addiction, untreated severe trauma instability, medical emergency, or a situation that requires therapy, psychiatric care, detox, clinical supervision or urgent support. It is also not appropriate for someone looking for a public booking path, a promised result, a diagnosis, or someone else to take responsibility for their life decisions. When in doubt, the first step is not to send sensitive details publicly, but to ask whether a private fit review is appropriate.

ALMAE does not promise healing, transformation, relief, clarity, a life decision, acceptance, or a particular spiritual experience. The work can make room for honest attention and responsibility; any result remains free and cannot be produced or sold.

Each participant remains responsible for health, boundaries, belief, conduct, relationships, finances, work, and major choices. Manuel may guide the group rhythm and questions, but he does not take authority over another person’s life.

Manuel Frey guides and accompanies the group. A yoga teacher is involved for relevant programme periods. Exact roles and current responsibilities must be stated in writing before commitment.

The cohort has one to seven participants. Even with a very small cohort, the offer remains the ALMAE group format. Individual 1:1 support is not included or promised.

No support outside announced sessions is promised. ALMAE is not an on-call service. Any included post-integration contact is group-based and stated in the written offer.

The intended rhythm combines guided group work, stillness, embodied attention, yoga or movement, personal reflection, conversation, nature, rest, and quiet integration. It is deliberately not published as a full timetable or inner sequence, because ALMAE is not a course to consume.

No. The programme includes no ceremony, physical touch, or substances. The described embodied attention, yoga, and movement are non-clinical group practices within the stated boundaries.

No. Fasting may be named only as optional preparation before arrival. It is not required and is not an in-programme practice. Each participant remains responsible for whether it is personally appropriate.

Yes. A participant may pause and may decide to leave. Subject to mandatory statutory rights and the controlling written terms, the programme fee is not refunded if participation is ended after the programme begins. Those terms must be accepted and signed before payment.

A potential participant is an adult who is psychologically stable, self-responsible, able to join a small group, and able to meet the time, quiet, privacy, conduct, and practical demands of the immersion. Interest alone does not establish fit.

A limitation does not automatically exclude someone, but actual demands and possible adaptations must be assessed individually before commitment. ALMAE does not promise full accessibility in every circumstance.

Post-integration is group-based. Its exact form, timing, and inclusion are confirmed in the written offer. It is not 1:1 support, ongoing care, therapy, or crisis availability.

The written offer identifies the included preparation information, fourteen-day group immersion, announced group sessions, relevant yoga-teacher involvement, programme materials, and only the group post-integration expressly included there.

Hotel or other accommodation, meals, beverages, hotel services, travel, transfers, visas, parking, insurance, personal expenses, 1:1 support, outside-session support, and clinical or emergency services are not included.

The ALMAE programme fee is EUR 6,970 including German VAT, subject to confirmation in the current written offer. Hotel, meals, and travel are not included; accommodation, meals, transfers, insurance, and personal expenses are arranged and paid separately.

The immersion is selective because timing, readiness, expectations, and group fit matter. A personal review supports a responsible fit decision and protects the integrity of the ALMAE setting. It is not a clinical assessment and does not replace independent medical or psychological advice.

No. Interest, correspondence, a future request, or willingness to pay would not create acceptance. A mature no, a pause, or a suggestion to choose another setting can be the responsible outcome.

ALMAE is not designed as a public booking funnel. The tone is deliberately quiet because fit, confidentiality, sacred seriousness, practical limits, and personal responsibility matter more than volume or speed.

After personal review and explicit acceptance, ALMAE sends the current written offer, terms, and the direct invoice or manual payment instructions. Only then does payment belong in the process. Accepted participants receive the private preparation handoff in the appropriate order: practical notes, arrival guidance, documents, and integration information. Hotel, meals, travel, insurance, and personal arrangements remain separate, and the client portal is not a public registration area.

Payment is requested only after personal review, explicit acceptance, and written terms. Accepted participants receive documents and an invoice or manual payment instructions directly from ALMAE. There is no public checkout, no payment link, no automatic confirmation, and no payment step before fit has been decided.

The language in which public orientation content appears does not confirm the language of operational support, participant documents, the group, or any private process. Those languages must be stated in the current written offer before acceptance.

Yes, through the minimal private request form and only after reading the fit, limits, and privacy notes. Send only a brief non-sensitive orientation request. Do not send diagnoses, medical documents, trauma histories, identity documents, financial records, or crisis narratives. A request creates no application entitlement, waitlist position, reservation, contract, hotel booking, payment obligation, or acceptance.

The public location context is Parkhotel Schillerhain in Kirchheimbolanden, Germany, near the Donnersberg region and about one hour from Frankfurt Airport. The landscape matters as a quiet setting of forest, stone, open air, and cultural memory; it is honoured as creation, not presented as a cure or promised effect. Hotel, meals, and travel remain separate and are not booked through this website.

The format is deliberately small, with one to seven participants, and requires respect for privacy, group rhythm, and boundaries. Current conduct, confidentiality, and communication rules must be stated in writing before payment. ALMAE can set and enforce its rules within the programme, but it cannot control another participant’s conduct outside it.
