About Us

Who we are, what we believe, and how we grow.

I have been playing World of Warcraft for over 20 years, and I have done it the best way possible, with my family. This is a game that has brought us together and kept us together and that experience shapes everything about what Zen Garden is.

Over the years I have been part of large guilds and small guilds, hardcore guilds and casual ones. I have seen what works and what does not. I know the drama that tears communities apart and I know the ingredients that make a guild genuinely fun, engaging, and worth logging into every day. Zen Garden is built on everything I have learned from all of those experiences.

I built Zen Garden because every person who logs in deserves a place where they feel safe, welcome, and free to just be themselves. No pressure, no politics, no drama. Just good people enjoying a great game together.

Whether you have been playing since Vanilla or just started yesterday, whether you run Mythic keys or just like to fish and explore, there is a place for you here. We are a family guild in every sense of the word and we would love for you to be part of it.

Come play with us.

Zen Garden is an inclusive, judgment free community where everyone is welcome regardless of who you are, where you come from, or how you play. You are safe here. We will not tolerate harassment or treating anyone differently. You are free to be you. Play how you wish and do what you like.

  • We do not tolerate rudeness, harassment, or drama of any kind.
  • All content except current content raiding. Fun first, always. No stress, no pressure.
  • Mythic keys are run only when everyone is relaxed and having fun.
  • We do not power level or run members through content. Ask in guild chat and someone will help if they can.
  • Conflicts are handled calmly and respectfully with both sides heard.
  • Bring your alts. All characters are welcome in Zen Garden.
  • Members inactive for more than 3 months will be removed to keep our community active.
  • Membership requires a short application reviewed personally by our Guildmaster.

Zen Garden has a clear progression path from new member to Elder. Each rank you earn grants increased guild repair allowance and access to additional guild bank tabs. The more you grow with us the more Zen Garden grows with you.
