Membership
At our Lake Pleasant retreat we all share kitchen duty, either preparing a meal or cleaning up after a meal. We are supporting our retreat community.
Outside of retreat we work together as a community in many ways, and we invite you to join us. We encourage you to become a member of Desert Lotus Zen, to join us and share our practice and work to save all senient beings.
By being a member of our community, you will have an opportunity to help us take the Buddha's teachings to more people. Your talents and your $20 monthly contribution will help us maintain our place of meditation and help us bring teachers to Arizona. Your membership will help us hold our workshops and retreats.
We encourage you to see membership as an integral part of your practice. And as a member you have the opportunity to develop your practice by meeting individually with our teachers, John and Rachel. They make themselves available to members in "Work in the Room" sessions scheduled in conjunction with koan workshops.
If all these benefits of membership were not enough, there is one more. Community members get a discount on workshop and retreat fees.
