COVID Guidelines for in person retreats, workshops, and classes

Please note that due to the unpredictable nature of the pandemic, our schedule and guidelines are subject to change.

Our current classes and workshops are open to vaccinated and non-vaccinated people. In response to the continued rapid spread of COVID-19, all guests and faculty will provide proof of negative PCR, NAAT, or antigen test results at time of check-in. The test must be taken within 24 hours before arrival and results must come from a laboratory or healthcare provider. Here are links for a few testing sites - please check with the site you choose if results will be available in 24 hours.

  • Test the People - sites in North Oakland (daily 10am-4pm), SF Mission district (MWF 10am-2pm), and Alameda (Tu/Th 10am-2pm); results within 24 hours

  • La Clinica de la Raza - BART parking lot, on corner of Derby and E 12th street, Oakland, Mon 9:30-3:30, Tues-Fri 9-3:30

  • City Health - 3223 Carlson Blvd, El Cerrito - 9am-4pm daily

  • City Health - 300 Jessie E, San Francisco - 9am-5pm daily

Results from a COVID-19 self-test, sometimes referred to as “home test,” will not be accepted.

If you have been exposed to COVID-19 or are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms including, but not limited to, fever, chills, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, fatigue, and/or cough, please cancel your visit and call our retreat assistant at assistant.dance.sanctuary@gmail.com.

This requirement is implemented in an abundance of caution for the safety of guests, staff, and faculty. It is an extra layer of protection.
