California requires that unvaccinated people wear masks in indoor group spaces. We are honoring each person's privacy as to whether or not they are vaccinated, and ask anyone who is not vaccinated to please wear a mask. We are taking precautions and being hypervigilant. Please do not attend if you have any symptoms of course. The onsite team is vaccinated. There are also social distancing options available.
