The 2021 collection represents a pivotal year of gradual reconnection and adaptation within our community. These photographs document our tentative first steps back toward in-person gatherings, capturing both the challenges and the profound joy of being together again. Throughout this gallery, you'll witness the careful blending of traditional practices with new safety considerations, creating meaningful experiences despite ongoing limitations. This visual journey highlights smaller, intimate gatherings, outdoor ceremonies that embraced the natural world as our temple, and the emotional reunions that occurred as our community slowly came together again. Each image tells a story of patience, perseverance, and the deep appreciation for community that emerged from our time apart.
