Koans are a central part of our practice at Desert Rain Zen. In the Pacific Zen School / Open Source tradition we do both individual and group koan work. Individual koan practice is available with our resident teacher Tenney Nathanson Sensei. We do group koan work in our monthly Sunday Koan Seminar, in frequent brief "koans with tea" conversations at the end of some of our other Sunday sits, and in our Tuesday Evening Koan Group.
