- If you are coming from outside of Estonia, we suggest you fly a day or two prior to the training to Tallinn airport. From there you can get a bus ticket on www.tpilet.ee from Tallinn to Viljandi. Tallinn bus stop is very close to the airport.
- We will organise pick-ups from Viljandi. Detailed info will be provided to registered participants. We will assist you to get to Sowa Rigpa Väluste School house or to Vanasauna (if you booked sleeping place there).
- Please be prepared that the local transfer might cost you taxi fare if our volunteers are not free. The taxi fare could be about 25 to 30 euros. However, we will try our best to coordinate a volunteer to pick you up.
- Please note that the sleeping space at the Väluste school house is shared.
- If you have certain sleeping problems and conditions, we suggest getting a cottage at Vanasauna (www.vanasauna.ee) or hotel room in Viljandi (https://visitviljandi.ee/en/visiting/accommodation/). It will cost more but your sleep is priceless! Good sleep will secure a good experience at the teaching as well.
- Clean bed sheets and quilts/blankets are provided for those sleeping inside the Väluste school house. If we have extra, we are happy to share with those who will sleep outside in the tents. Indoor showers and some access to kitchen are accessible for both.
- October is the time where sometimes winter starts to show. Sometimes October is sunny with 15 degrees during the daytime, but it's also not uncommon to get frost and snow.

- The menu will be provided for registered people.
- Please have a look of the menu when you receive it. If you have food allergy and need special arrangement, please kindly contact the food service provider directly about it. This might apply extra cost, we will try to keep it within 20 euros, but depending on what you can eat and drink, there might be extra costs that you have to take care of.
- The nearest food shop is in Mustla, 10km from the School house. If you want personal snacks and drinks, it's possible for our volunteers to drive you there.
- The sauna at Vanasauna guesthouse (www.vanasauna.ee) is right next to a beautiful lake, dipping into the lake after sauna is an unique Estonian experience. We will organise sauna events during the teaching, if possible.
