Accompanied by djembe beats, tonight we fire twirled in a unique place...the ledge of a tiny balcony, 6 stories up! Our fire display was a great surprise for the guests, and a fun way to create intensity and a splash of color.

What's in a name?

(Sanskrit : अहिंसा, Ahiṃsā)

A Buddhist and Hindu and Jainist doctrine holding that all forms of life are sacred and urging avoidance of violence. The hand with a wheel on the palm symbolizes the Vow of Ahiṃsā. The wheel represents the dharmacakra which stands for the resolve to halt the cycle of reincarnation through pursuit of truth and non-violence.

... and fearlessness.
