What are the "Lodging" and "Commuting" options?
The "lodging" rate includes program, meals, and lodging for the duration of the event. All lodging is in various shared rooms, located in Wright Hall (where we will meet for our program during the Gathering), and Ballard Hall. Every room has access to shared bathrooms, adjacent to the room or just down the hall. Other than at meal times, we will be the sole users of Wright Hall during the NW Reiki Gathering, and will entirely be the sole users of Ballard Hall during the Gathering.
The "commuting" rate includes program and meals for the duration of the event. This option is available on a limited basis for participants who want to or need to sleep off-site (somewhere other than in one of our shared rooms at Menucha). We ask that, other than sleeping off-site, commuters plan to be with us at Menucha for the duration of their event, including all meals.
Menucha does not have capacity for participants who might wish to only attend program times but otherwise neither lodge nor take meals there, so there is no such registration option.

May I attend both events?
Because we have more space at Menucha this year, you CAN register up front for both events. Huzzah!!
May I bring someone (or attend myself) as a non-participant?
Because we have more space at Menucha this year, we ARE registering non-participants again!
Most often a non-participant is the partner of a participant, but due to not being initiated in Reiki themselves or for some other reason they won't participate in the program and shared Reiki sessions during the event. That partner can still lodge at Menucha, share meals, and use the rest of the amenities at Menucha, by registering as a non-participant.
The rooms at Menucha are still what they are though - typically 3-5 people to a room, or more in larger rooms - so we cannot guarantee that two people will room together with privacy. Please note roommate preferences on your registration form, and especially if you can assemble your own group of at least 3 people, we will make a best effort and hope things work out!

May I arrive early or stay late?
Menucha does not have capacity for personal retreats, so there is no way to arrive early or stay late at Menucha. Of course, you are absolutely welcome to arrive in Portland before the start of your event, or stay after your event, and take in the sights and activities!
What is the NWRG's CoViD protocol for this in-person Gathering?
For 2023, the NWRG does not have any of its own CoViD-based requirements.
Menucha does have a current CoViD policy in place, and as guests on their land we will abide by their policies. You can view Menucha's policy here: https://menucha.org/pandemic-welcome-and-hosting. If Menucha's policy changes prior to the Gathering, we will review whether to also change our policy for this year's Gathering.
Particularly note that, as Menucha policies currently stand, if you get CoViD (or are exposed to someone with CoViD and have symptoms) in the 14 days before the Gathering, you will need to cancel your registration to the Gathering - and unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a refund for such a late cancellation. Additionally, if you get COVID in the 14 days after the Gathering, you will need to contact the Registrar so that we can share contact tracing info with Menucha.

Refund Policy
Registration is non-transferable, but fully refundable until May 15. For cancellations after May 15, we cannot guarantee any refund.
Scholarships
There are a limited number of partial scholarships available for participants requesting financial help to attend the Weekend Gathering.
