SAFETY Please work and play in mindful ways. At Amida we do all we can to ensure the safety of our visitors. We cannot, however, be liable for any accidents which occur on site. Please take care, especially if working with gardening, wood cutting, or building tools. Power tools and dangerous chemicals should not be used by any visitor except with the specific permission of the community leader, and then only with suitable protective clothing. Anyone using such tools does so at their own risk. Access to the sections of the large barn where tools and other equipment are stored is not permitted for under 16s unless accompanied by an adult, and should, in any case, be kept to functional purposes. We would also like to remind you that visitors stay at the centre at their own risk. CHILDREN Children are very welcome at Amida by arrangement. There is plenty of space, and lots of local attractions for them. The countryside can also be dangerous, so, depending on their age, children will need supervision. Children remain the responsibility of their parent or guardian at all times. Most people come to Amida for quiet retreats and this needs to be respected. For this reason we ask families to camp so silent times can be kept. Parents should also be aware that they may be limited in how much they can participate in the centre activities. Although other visitors are often happy to help out with childcare, you cannot rely on this.
