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

Sunday Sits on Zoom

Desert Rain holds  weekly sits on Zoom each Sunday from 3:30-5:00. We typically sit for one period with a koan, followed by an extended conversation where we explore the koan together. Sometimes a dharma talk precedes our conversation.

All are welcome!

If you'd like to receive the zoom link for upcoming events, or want to be added to our email list, please email either [email protected] or [email protected].)

Next Sunday Sit on Zoom: February 8, 3:30-5:00

please note that Arizona is currently back on Mountain time, so if you're outside Arizona you'll need to "re-sync" the time of our Sunday sits to your local time
