Yes, and this is the least expensive option. Staying in the dojo means sleeping in the tatami with the group. We will provide a mattress but you will need to bring your own sleeping bag. The dojo has communal showers, toilets, and kitchen.

You will need to do daily dojo cleaning for about 30 min. each day, as well as help out with any communal meals you participate in.

During the Winter Aikido Camp there is a special discounted price for staying in the dojo (*See payment option above).

Before and after the Winter Aikido Camp the cost for staying in the dojo is 150 nis per-day (abut €35 per day). 

For those of you who prefer not staying in the Dojo, you can find good accommodation options in Tel- Aviv.

We highly recommend “Abraham Hostel” (Link: https://abrahamhostels.com/tel-aviv). This Hostel is 20 min. Walk from the Dojo, located in the beating heart of Tel Aviv, surrounded by many of the city’s hottest spots. 

You can also use Airbnb and other websites to find a room or an apartment for your stay.

March is the beginning of Israel's Spring season. The days are usually sunny, with a high temp. of 21°C / 70°F, and lows of 10°C / 50°F.

It is a beautiful time of the year as everything is nice and green after being replenished from the winter rains. 

From the airport  we recommend you will do one of the following:

Taking the train:

The train from the airport to “HaShalom” station. From there it is about a 10 min walk to the Integral Dojo (you can also take a taxi from there).  The train cost 16 NIS , the taxi from Hashalom shouldn’t cost more than 25 NIS.

For train schedule please go here and search the train times from BEN GURION AIRPORT to TEL AVIV HASHALOM station. 

The dojo is a 10 min. walk from the train station. See the Google map here.

Taking a taxi from the airport:

To go directly to the Integral Dojo taking a taxi is the easiest option. The taxi from the airport will cost you between 120 nis to 150 nis. The ride takes 20 to 40 min. depending on the traffic.

Caution:

 We recommend that you only take the official taxis from the airport. The taxi station is clearly marked and is located just outside the airport exit to the left.

DO NOT take a taxi if the driver approaches you as they are extremely overpriced.

ALWAYS INSIST ON THE METER BEFORE DEPARTURE.

Integral Dojo address: Ha’achim Mislavita 7, 2nd fl., Tel Aviv

You do not need to bring your bokken and jo. We have plenty of bokken and jo here at the dojo, and traveling with your sticks could lead to complications at the Tel Aviv airport security and may cause travel delays.

Due to limited spaces, we recommend that you register for the Winter Aikido Camp as early as possible. However, we also understand that sometimes cancelation is necessary. Should you need to cancel your registration here is our policy:

• Up to 45 days before retreat - 70% refund.
• Between 44 to 30 days before the retreat - 25% refund.
• 29 days before retreat no refund.

• Participants canceling up to 30 days before the Winter Camp may also choose to keep their payment as credit for a future event, valid for one full year. If this option is chosen, a 50€ administration fee will be deducted.

• If the organizer (The Integral Dojo) should cancel this event, all monies paid by participants will be refunded.

• In the event of cancelations due to COVID-related government restrictions, two choices will be offered to participants:

  1. Credit for future events:

  This is our preferred option, as it supports the financial standing of the organizers. Whatever you have already paid will be held in credit towards the next retreat you would like to attend within a 3-year period.

  2. Refund minus administration costs and or offering of donation:

  We would refund the retreat amount minus €100 administration costs. However, if you would like to offer more, that amount would also go towards supporting the organization during such difficult times.
