A reflection:

The breath in the breath.  The body in the body. Yes--the Sangha body in the Sangha body.  

Samish is a time for moving into stillness.  A time of openness and permeability.  As we move into each other, we allow a softness without distinct edges--and yet--it is a time, as Kanho Chris reflected, to take the backward step, and shine the light within...

Everyone and everything reflecting and holding our deepest intentions...What a gift--this coming together for ourselves and for each other...

~Deep gratitude for our teachers, for the hard-working staff, for our close community of practitioners who traveled from many places, and for the many forms of beings who were present with us throughout our days at Samish Summer 2025.

Thank you to Kanho Chris for the exquisite photos.
