Russian River Zendo SANGHA

Darlene and Tony regard Sangha as perhaps the only group in any individual’s life where we can be mirrored with safety and support each other’s wholehearted practice.  As human beings, we are extremely permeable and sensitive to the presence of other beings close by. The activities at Russian River Zendo reflect its teachers’ disposition toward this particular kind of intimacy: sitting, working, cooking, walking and studying side by side, body to body.
