You can participate in Desert Rain Zen activities from just about anywhere, since pretty much everything we do is on Zoom. Some of our events are hybrid, with an in-person presence here in Tucson. But most are Zoom-only. We developed a lively and dedicated online community during the pandemic, and we're dedicated to maintaining and fostering it. Koan conversations are central to our practice together, and they are flexible, user-friendly, and warm. Learn more.
