Are kids welcome?

Yes! We would love for your kids to come. They can even offer and attend sessions (although some sessions might not be open to young’uns). We’ll co-create norms around kid participation, interaction with others, adult-only times and spaces, and whatever else is relevant. Parents – feel free to reach out to Jeremy (organizer bringing a 4-year-old and 12-year-old) if you have questions or ideas.

What is the covid / health policy?

Our full health & wellness policy can be found here

If I have an ongoing symptom, but have been cleared by a doctor, am I still able to attend?

If an attendee (of any age) has chronic symptoms prior to Retreat that a doctor has evaluated and declared not contagious, they are welcome to attend. As with all other attendees, if symptoms change/worsen, we are asking that they depart.

What is your return policy?

We are able to offer refunds if you are unable to attend Retreat due to illness. We are also very happy to transfer your ticket to someone else if you find someone to transfer it to. We will do our best to help you find someone for your ticket on the waitlist but cannot guarantee a taker, especially closer to the event.

How do invites work?

TBD retreats are special in part because of their closed, invite-only model. Events are shared only by word of mouth and within private channels—please don’t publicize them.

Who can invite?

Alumni (past attendees): If you’ve attended a TBD retreat, you can invite others. Invitations must be personal and direct—let your invitee know why you’re excited for them to join. If they accept, help them join our communication channels (e.g., Facebook, Discord). You don’t need to attend their first event.
First-time invitees: If you’ve been invited but haven’t attended yet, and feel called to invite someone into the space - we encourage you to reach out to the person who invited you to see if they are willing to invite and hold space for them.

Inviter Responsibilities

Be your invitee’s first point of contact, help them understand what to expect, and guide them through registration. Participate in an accountability process, if needed, for your invitee at their first event.

Why this way?

TBD events thrive on trust and connection. Every attendee is personally invited, creating a safe(r) environment where we can lean into our vulnerability, address our mistakes, and take responsibility for ourselves and each other. We encourage you to invite trustworthy, fun, and values-aligned people, trusting your judgment to maintain the integrity of our community.
