The inauguration is this upcoming Saturday Oct 17th. Sorry for that! —

It is now official, our new Bau Café (built with our own wood!), will be inaugurated this Saturday night after meditation.

And we have special guests for that – the Hamburgers are coming to pass on their transmission from the times of their famous Hamburg Bau Café, bringing 2 DJs and a great sound system so don’t forget your dancing shoes!

Snowy wishes to all,

The EC Team
