For the Active Solution Groups some short preliminary exercises have been

voluntary and will be distributed to participants shortly before the

Optional Programme.
For those who wish to participate, our Kaunas
friends propose a visit to
Vilnius, either sight-seeing or to the opera.
This could entail an overnight stop in a hotel in
Vilnius
and would be at the participant’s own expense.
A special price at a four-star Vilnius Hotel has been negotiated.
Those wishing to join this trip will need to take this into account in
their travel plans eg in to Kaunas, out
from Vilnius.
