On Retreat
If you develop any cold, flu, COVID-19 symptoms while on the retreat you will be asked to test for COVID-19 and wear a mask indoors while the symptoms last, even if you test negative. (We will do what we can to make the teachings accessible if you choose to remain outdoors.) If you test positive you will need to isolate until you are able to leave the retreat, and everyone else will need to test.
Masks - Please bring well-fitting masks with you in case they are needed - we'll also have some available.
Social Distancing - please be mindful and sensitive to others and respect their space and sense of safety.
Air flow - we will have air filters in most bedrooms and in the shrine room.
