Refund Policy

To request a refund, please email our registrar Christine Brooks (brooks.christine.k@gmail.com).

Online registrations are refundable until Thursday, September 5. (In the case of a positive COVID test, please see below.)

Onsite registrations are refundable until the close of onsite registration on Thursday, August 29, 2024.

If you are unable to attend onsite, please consider registering for the online attendance, which gives you access to the recordings (available for 3 months after the retreat).

COVID, Masking, Etc.

Because there have been recent and ongoing COVID outbreaks across the country, for those who have registered for onsite attendance, we kindly request the following for everyone’s benefit and safety.

We recommend that you wear a mask in the shrine room during our retreat activities.

Please take a COVID test within 2 days of the start of the retreat.

If you test positive for COVID immediately before or during the retreat, please let the registrar know and please plan to attend on Zoom rather than in person.

If you have tested positive for COVID after the Thursday Aug. 29 deadline, we are able to offer a refund of the portion of registration fee in excess of the retreat center’s food and lodging costs. Please contact the registrar to request the refund. You will still be able to attend online and access recordings even with this partial refund.
