The Facility
Zion Canyon Mesa sits on top of a twenty-nine acre mesa, surrounded by thousands of acres of protected land in Zion National Park. On top of this mesa is a six-acre site with desert flowers, cacti, sagebrush and native bunch grasses. Deer, desert tortoise and quail visit regularly. This desert setting provides a tranquil place to work and learn.
The Commons building IS OPEN! We have a small library, kitchen, dining room, laundry facilities and restrooms and office. A Duplex will be completed in January. Next, another duples and a separate artists' studio accommodating two or more visual artists. Stay tuned…

Construction Progress
The desert has a deep personality; it has a voice. . . .Great Leaders of all ages from Moses to Rosevelt, have sought the desert and heard its voice. You can hear it if you listen, but you cannot hear it while in the midst of uproar and strife . . . .
