These five-day courses are offered in the late spring and early fall. Prices are for the courses only - travel, food, and lodging are extra but the organizers will find you rooms and help you plan your travel to Loutro. Most of the available rooms in Loutro are in small pensions. Workshops are in English and most of the instructors are British or American.
Creative privacy is respected - the number of participants is limited, and the organizers scatter the rooms throughout the village, so the only laptop you're likely to see nearby will be your own.
