Hello! I want to share an experience I embarked on about one year ago.

In September 2025, I left my job in consulting and booked a flight to Thailand with plans to ordain as a Buddhist monk. A few weeks later I ordained in the village of Pa Pae, just north of Chiang Mai.

I remained in Thailand for four months before disrobing and finding my way home to San Francisco. I met so many wonderful and inspiring people along the way and left with a renewed sense of self and respect for the monastic path.

Sending love out to everyone reading these words. I hope these pictures will suffice to share some of my journey with you 😊🙏

I spent an evening at the Sky Arts Awards surrounded by some of the smartest, funniest and most talented women I know: writers, poets, musicians and troublemakers.  I’m not sure what the collective noun for such a group is, but they’re a joy to behold when they move as a pack.

A massive thank you to @skyarts and Phil Edgar-Jones for bringing us together in the glorious surroundings of The Roundhouse for a true celebration of the arts.

See you next year 👏👏👏
