What will be the policies regarding Covid-19?
Over the past many months, we have been watching COVID-19 in Iowa and around the US to assess the impact on the Golden Jubilee.
Based on current trends we are hopeful that we can have a restriction-free event where masks, testing and vaccinations will not be required. If the situation does not continue to improve, we will get back to anyone who has registered for the event with any further requirements needed for participation.

What should I do if I I want to do my program in the Dome?
Any Yogic Flyers and meditators that travel to Fairfield for the Golden Jubilee Celebration and want to do program in the Golden Domes, please start the process before arriving in Fairfield by applying at: https://www.invincibleamerica.org/apply/
The Golden Jubilee schedule allows for people to be in the Domes in the morning. Optional activities will be offered in the morning for those not rounding.
What about Fairfield residents?
Fairfield residents need to apply to attend the event and come to registration/get a badge, etc. You will need to buy Jubilee event meal cards, even if you have left over cards from before the Covid-19 era. MIU staff and Faculty will not need to pay extra for meals, but should still register online using the Registration page link above.
What about meals?
There are a wide variety of dining venues in Fairfield, ranging from vegetarian to sit-down US traditional and fast foods.
On campus options:

On campus meal choices can be specified on the Registration page. The form on that page gives us a sense of how many people to plan for on each day. When you get to MIU, you can buy meal tickets as described above, in the MIU Bookstore in the Argiro Student Center.
