OPENING / CLOSING PROCEDURES
Some of these procedures are meant for Zenistas, instructors, or therapists,
and not necessarily for general space rentals.
We believe in transparency, and this make information easier to access.
If any of these things do not appear to be accomplished,
please notify the person who rented before you,
or text Emily on the main line to ensure our efficiency at (630) 465-5638.
