However, your place can be passed on to someone you know; inform Stillness in Nature of this 1 day in advance at the latest via stillness.nature@gmail.com (or 06-83540240). If the participant does not show up on the agreed date, time and place without having communicated a cancellation, the participant loses the right to participate at another time. A new reservation will then have to be made.
