The
Lighthouse Effect

At SOMM, we see the practices we offer as a way to illuminate not just our own lives, but as a way to amplify the light in the world. The SOMM Comm is a conscious community taking responsibility for how they show up in the world and what they create and contribute.

AIM FOUNDATION COURSE

“It is possible the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community, a community practicing understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living. And the practice can be carried out as a group, as a city, as a nation.”

—Thich Nhat Hanh
