Guru Puja Ceremony

Before exchanging vows in a waterfront ceremony surrounded by their close family members and friends, Sarah and Luis held a short private ceremony called guru puja. “It is significant in the meditation tradition Luis and I practice,” Sarah says. “ 'Puja' means ‘that which is born out of fullness’ and is a way of expressing gratitude for all you’ve been blessed with. It brought such a depth of emotion and sacredness to the day.”
