We're hosting periodic
"learn about Desert Rain Zen"
introductory Zoom sessions 
for newcomers
with Tenney Nathanson Roshi

we did several sessions in a row, each Sunday, this past summer and early autumn
please stay tuned for more information about our next 
introductory sessions . . . 
but . . .
you don't have to wait for a special introductory session
you can join any of our zoom sits whether or not you already have a meditation practice
(or a koan practice)


please email us for the Zoom link
you can learn about our user-friendly way of working the Zen koans
and experience what it's like to bring a koan into your meditation
as an open-ended and open-hearted inquiry
we'll also focus a bit on Zen meditation "techniques"
There will be plenty of time for questions and conversation
and a chance to meet some of our online community
