In the interest of keeping everyone healthy and safe during and after our retreats, we kindly request that all participants agree to and adhere to the following protocols.
While we would all love to leave concerns about infectious illness in the past, experience has shown that this can have dangerous results, so we require your agreement with a few preventative measures and on-site protocols.
Before we come together for the retreat, we ask that you please be mindful of your potential exposure to illness in the days leading up to the retreat (ie., maybe declining an invitation to a gathering 5 days before the retreat start date).
Please travel mindfully, consider wearing a mask in crowded areas with poor ventilation, and wash or sanitize your hands after touching heavily used surfaces, such as check-in kiosks or security bins.
While we no longer require people to take COVID tests before and during the retreat, we do ask that you remain extremely mindful of any symptoms—even if you are convinced they are just allergies!—and notify our on-site concierge immediately via WhatsApp during and in the days leading up to the retreat.
If you experience any symptoms of illness (even if you think they might be allergies—this was how COVID was passed around at at least one retreat!), please wear a mask, maintain social distancing at all future group events, and take meals to your room until you feel better.
Depending on the severity of symptoms, it might be necessary to set up a virtual classroom option to keep everyone safe.
You agree to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before using the food buffet or handling shared utensils.
You will be honest and forthcoming about any and all symptoms—even if you think it's just allergies. (Has that been stated enough times? 😂)When in doubt, you agree to mask.
You will be reasonable, understanding and respectful, knowing that illness is a part of life and we can only ever do our best to prevent it. There is no place for blame or shame on this retreat, but plenty of space for compassion and understanding.
