Scene and HeardPartying with the Newlyweds
- Newlyweds Joshua Silberstein and Liz Downey
This was the atmosphere when, on August 8th, sangha from far and wide gathered in Sal and Ulrike Halpern’s Boulder backyard to rejoice with Joshua Silberstein (the enigmatically gentle Chief of Staff for Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche) and Liz Downey (who crisply served as the Sakyong Wangmo’s first Shambhala attendant).
A scene-by-scene slide show flashed moving images from their Karme Choling wedding in the living room, touching partygoers from the get-go. With easy conversation, great toasts, and a flaming barbecue that produced endless late-summer fare, everyone seemed to relax into the warmth that always seems to emanate from the guests of honor.
