Wellness Policy

The household wellness policy supports our aspiration at Karmê Chöling to be a community of kindness. One of the ways we care for each other is by refraining from spreading illness. 

• We recommend taking a rapid COVID test before you leave home, to save yourself a trip if you test positive.
• If you have any cold or flu symptoms while at KCL we will request that you: 
  • Wear a mask 
  • Take a COVID test.
  • If you test positive for COVID while you are at KCL, we will ask you to return home as soon as possible. Until you can depart your retreat, you will be asked to quarantine in a room assigned to you, eating meals in your room, bathing in single-use bathrooms, and masking indoors.
• You are welcome to wear a mask if you feel that you might have been exposed to COVID or any other contagious illness.
• We strongly encourage you to be vaccinated and up to date on boosters for COVID and seasonal flu.

• Our protocols are adjusted as necessary. If you have questions about our wellness policy or about whether you should attend a program, please email wellness@karmecholing.org.
