Namaste
-a Sanskrit word meaning I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells, I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Integrity, of Wisdom and of Peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One, is the title and theme for Rhea Giffin’s sculpted ornament donation along with exquisite ornament paintings and interpretations by more than a dozen established northwest artists which will adorn a special tree this year to benefit emergency services at Kootenai Medical Center via The Festival of Trees at the Coeur d’Alene Resort.
