COVID-19 Protocol and
Residential Retreat and Event Cancellation Policy
The following terms apply to residential (in-person) retreats.
COVID-19 Safety Protocols
In an effort to protect our dear Lama, staff, and attendees, the Dzogchen Center & Foundation requests:- all guests bring a self-test kit with them.
- any guest who exhibits cold symptoms (coughing or sneezing), but is Covid negative, must use a mask in meeting spaces.
- please bring a supply of masks in the event you may need one.
- any guest who tests positive for COVID-19 during the retreat will be unable to remain for the duration of the retreat; Dzogchen Center does not have the ability or medical expertise to support you. For those who need to make travel arrangements–particularly those who flew—we can accommodate a brief stay in quarantine accommodations separate from the active retreat container while you make plans to depart.
- all guests prepare an exit strategy should they test positive for COVID-19 while on retreat.
- if a guest tests positive within 3-5 days after departure, please contact us immediately.
Cancellation Policies
