Le Chalet Crepuscule is approximately 2 hours from Brussels by train & bus (so 4 hrs from London via the Eurostar train)
Facilities at the Chalet are basic: solar power, gas stove and lanterns, candles and fires -so be prepared for a real back to nature experience, part of the elemental enchantment of this place which is somehow simultaneously remote and yet in the middle of central Europe bordering 5 different countries by just a few hours.
If you wish for more mod-con comfort (eg hot showers) there is now the option of renting a room in co-operation with La Gatte D’Or (‘The Golden Goat’) just 15 mins walk from Le Chalet Crepuscule, for an extra 50eu per night. If you wish to do this and attend the gathering please get in touch asap (odxob@yahoo.com)
Maximum capacity 36 (camping space), including performers (6 spaces left July 5th). The cost is 80 euro including cooked meals and camping, workshops, rituals, labyrinth and performances (this is a non-profit event).
