Health & Wellness Policy

  • Instinctive Studio Ark Hive is an organic health and wellness centre, for connection with family, friends and nature.  Please come to revisit your wild-side by experiencing the fun and serenity that comes with natural home-made foods, artisan beverages, wholesome activities and Earth's gifts! This is our home, PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF IT & ALL WHO ARE HERE.

  • The indoor studio, workshop, and all of our stations are continually maintained for cleanliness, providing you with a clean, safe environment.

  • It is our commitment that our facility, kitchen, private restrooms and stations are kept spotlessly clean and well stocked. We do provide a place for you to freshen up, rehydrate and relax to keep you safe, smiling and happy.

  • We do encourage limited use of cell phones, to be used only when necessary. Laptops and electronic game toys are not permitted due to the barrage of EMF (dirty electronic magnetic frequency emissions) which are unhealthful.

  • The wearing of masks is not permitted for the following reasons.

  1. We love to see your smiling face. We want to be able to recognize our frequent customers and develop a relationship.

  2. Visual stimulation and connection through facial expression is essential for healthy childhood development and many of our customers are families with children.

  3. The uptick in theft and crimes.

  4.  For the safety of our staff and customers please do not come to visit us if you are sick with a communicable disease. We'd love to see you on another occasion when you are feeling better. 

  5. Face masks including the N95 DO NOT HELP in the prevention of communicable disease. The following is stated on the insert of the N95 mask: "This respirator can help reduce inhalation exposures to certain airborne biological particles(eg. mold Bacillus anthracis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, etc.) but cannot eliminate the risk of contracting infection, illness or disease, OSHA and other government agencies have not established safe exposure limits for these contaminants."  

  6. The risk of inhaling plastic and chemical particulates from mask wearing is much more of a concern. We believe "Nature" is on our side for our natural immunity and safe keep. 

  • We encourage hand washing after using the restroom. You are not only washing your hands from your exposure to uncleanliness, but from the previous user of the restroom. 

  • Due to our being in a farmland community area and the prevalence of poultry related disease transfer to other flocks; if you are visiting our chickens you will be required to use a hand sanitizer, before and after your visit with them. You will also be required to walk through a sanitizing shoe pan wash prior to entry into their pen. If you are a poultry owner please remain outside their pen.

  • If you have enjoyed a "barefoot grounding experience" in one of the classes we offer or on your own, we have an outdoor foot wash area with towel available for your convenience.

  • Experience the natural health benefits of indoor and outdoor activities, play, exercise and fun!
