Items to bring with you

The center will provide all mats, tables, stools, bolsters, head supports, face towels, etc.

It is recommended that you bring layers of comfortable clothing that allow for freedom of movement, and to bring your own bottle of water. Please bring a notebook and pen for taking notes.

Cell phones, backpacks, and personal items

Please limit the amount of personal items you bring with you. Room for storage of large backpacks and large purses is limited to the lower level of the center. Cell phones should be turned off and use is limited to break times only. Before class and during lunch hours we will be giving private lessons and after class we want to respect the privacy of the people who are staying at the center, so talking on your phone in the center other than break times is discouraged. Be respectful of noise levels so others can enjoy the opportunity for self reflection and introspective learning.

Shoe hygiene

There will be clear plastic bins for shoes. Please wear clean socks in the main areas for hygiene reasons, and no bare feet. If you need to wear shoes please purchase a pair that will be dedicated to being worn for exclusive use inside the center.

Food and beverages

The center will provide coffee and tea and coffee cups. There are refrigerators and microwaves for your use at the center. There are plenty of places to eat within a short walk of the center.
