Once the 12 openings are filled for in-person attendance, you will be placed on a waiting list and be offered the next available opening for Sunday Sangha.  If you are confirmed, please arrive by 10:15 am or your spot will be given to any walk-ins who are waiting.

In-Person Covid Safety Protocol. All guests will be required to follow these safety measures to protect everyone to the fullest extent possible.

• Immunization. You will be asked to show proof of vaccination and one booster shot. If you are not vaccinated or are unable to be vaccinated, you will need to show evidence of a negative Covid test result within the preceding 24 hours (e.g., rapid, RT-PCR).
• Masks. Masks will be worn at all times during the event. You will be provided with a new, unused KN95 mask. Lama Losang (or anyone leading the session) will not wear a mask when speaking.
• Social distancing. Cushions and chairs will be placed six feet apart on either side of altar and center aisle.
• Air circulation. The overhead fans will be circulating along with the back door kept ajar so please dress accordingly.
• Hand sanitizers will be in the front foyer and restrooms.
• Common areas. Restrooms and guest chairs will be wiped and disinfected before and after each event.
• Chanting and prayers will be read only by the person leading the session. Chanting and singing are powerful ways of spreading the virus even with mask protection.
• Refreshments. The kitchen will not be open. You are welcome to bring your own beverage in a closed receptacle.
