For our Monday night practice, this means members of our community support each other by volunteering to facilitate or lead an evening practice (called Facilitator) or to help set up our Zendo (called Setup host). If you have any questions or would like to volunteer for Facilitator or Setup host, please contact info@mindfulnesspugetsound.org.

Covid Protocols at Dharma Gate for Monday Night Practice

As a reminder, we require the following protocols to be followed at Dharma Gate:

All in person practitioners must be vaccinated and boosted (one booster shot is fine.)
All guests must sign in on the clipboard whenever visiting Dharma Gate.
If you are feeling unwell, please stay home and join us for our hybrid online practices.
Masking is still required, with a few exceptions. Masks are provided at the door, if needed

While masks on Mondays are still required, our team has taken the step to allow our facilitators and those sharing during dharma sharing to remove their masks if they like. We also recognize those who would like to join in person, but find it too difficult to practice with or wear a mask, therefore we will now reserve several seats near the back of the Zendo for them.
