Samma Karuna

This week we celebrated our dear Ishi 🥳❤️

Anyone who has spent time around Samma Karuna knows that Ishi is one of those people constantly giving to the space in a hundred different ways — often quietly, without needing attention for it.

From the early mornings to the late nights, from fixing things, helping people, organising, supporting, carrying, creating, solving problems, making people laugh, and somehow still being there whenever someone needs a hand… he brings so much care and energy into this community.

What makes Ishi special is not only what he does, but how he does it, and who is at his heart. 
So much humility, kindness, generosity, groundedness, and a genuinely big, wide open heart.

He’s the kind of person who makes things feel lighter.
The kind of person who helps create the feeling of home here.
The kind of friend and brother who shows up fully for people.

We are grateful for you Ishi and Happy birthday ❤️

Ishi — thank you for everything you give to this community, both seen and unseen.

Thank you for your humor, your presence, your hard work, your care, and your willingness to always jump in where needed.

May this next chapter bring you inspiration, abundance, joy, peace, love, good people around you, and many moments where you feel truly appreciated for who you are.

Happy birthday Ishi ❤️

Upcoming week. Look at our new teachers are giving free classes. You are welcome to join our community 💐

Schedule for upcoming week 💛

A last-minute opportunity has opened for male bodies to join an upcoming Ta**ra Teacher Training in Thailand, starting April 5th, 2026.

This is offered at a significantly reduced rate, ideal for those already on the island who feel called to deepen their practice in an immersive and supportive environment.

So much gratitude!

Deep appreciation to the Journey Into Oneself team for your unwavering dedication, strength, and commitment in holding this space with such care and integrity.

A heartfelt bow to Master Zuan, who’s wisdom, presence, and depth of understanding bring a rare quality of stillness, clarity, and quiet strength.

To receive these teachings is a true gift.
What a journey it has been — inward, together.

Grateful beyond words, thank you and see you next year! 🤍
