Terms & Conditions

VIDEO

We are continuing to offer our programming via Zoom and YouTube. We believe that it is a bodhisattva activity to provide retreats online and your sitting in the zendo supports the practice of people who cannot participate in person due to disability, age, distance, or life circumstance. By coming to an event you are agreeing to be in a room with a camera to allow for people to participate remotely so your image may be seen in the group. Talks by the teachers are recorded.

CANCELLATION FOR HEALTH

ZCO/Great Vow/Heart of Wisdom reserves the right to cancel reservations for events due to the pandemic in the case of changing CDC, federal, state, and local guidelines, or the health of the residential community and our teachers. In this case participants will receive a full refund.

If you are experiencing symptoms of fever, persistent cough, or “feel like you are coming down with something,” please do not come. You will also receive a full refund.

OTHER CANCELLATIONS

If you cancel your registration (not related to illness) less than 48 hours in advance, you will receive a refund or credit for a future retreat, less $50.
