CMJ Music Report says:
“Jim Infantino wields his razor-sharp poetic flair like a weapon, offering thought-provoking commentary that can sound both humorous and poignant at the same time. Infantino mixes a down-town Lou Reed-style hipness … that best illustrates the band’s smart, imaginative approach.”

The Boston Globe says:
“Jim Infantino, ground zero of the Boston trio Jim’s Big Ego, is one of those rare songwriters whose wit is as sharp as his sense of melody, and whose intellect is broad and beautifully skewed as his jumble of musical influences.”

These images were created by Katherine during the Miksang workshop held at the center in June, taught by Lance Brunner. Miksang is a Tibetan word that translates as “Good Eye.” The Miksang program of contemplative photography brings together the art of photography, the discipline of meditation and the Dharma Art teachings of the meditation master and scholar Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche.

Congratulations to my fellow Bodhisattvas! It was an honor to study, practice, and take vows with you.

You know you’ve hit gold when you come to a Shambhala Center reception and sangha member Louise Miller is there, because that usually means she’s brought some of her exquisite cookies!! Enjoy the recipe she has shared with us, and be sure to come to an event sometime to try her hand made delights.
