Policies

Our policies are implemented so we can offer the best possible experience to everyone coming to the center.  By registering for any event, training, or workshop, you agree to abide by our policies. Please note that some events, especially those held at other locations,  may have different policies, and those policies will be listed on the event or ticketing page. All policies apply regardless of individual circumstances (this includes COVID-19, accidents, illnesses, and all other seen or unforeseen circumstances). If you do not follow the policies, your event or training course participation will be canceled without a refund. We are committed to maintaining a respectful and welcoming environment, and those who are rude or disruptive to other participants or the event or course leaders will be asked to leave without a refund.
