Thursday evening sit: in person & hybrid at Little Chapel

update: the September 10 Thursday evening sit will be on Zoom only. We'll resume regular hybrid sits--in person at Little Chapel + on zoom--starting September 17.

Desert Rain has returned to Little Chapel for a weekly in-person meditation on Thursday evenings, 6:30-7:30.
We're now doing these as hybrid events, so you can join us via Zoom. If you'd like the Zoom link please email
[email protected] or [email protected].

If you're joining us in person at Little Chapel, please arrive a few minutes before 6:30 so you can be in the hall and seated when we begin. We sit one 25 minute period, do a brief walking meditation, then sit a shorter period followed by tea and brief conversation.

No prior experience with meditation or with Zen is necessary. If you haven't joined us before, please try to arrive by 6:15 for a brief orientation.

Parking in the lot at the east side of the building is free; after you park, please ask someone in the group for the code to text to the parking app.

The Little Chapel is at 1401 E First Street on the UA Campus.


If you have questions, please email us at [email protected]
