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 😊🙏

March 19, 2026: Last week, we had the opportunity to visit and present at the new @notionhq in San Francisco. 

It’s our third time returning to visit and each year we are overwhelmed by how incredibly kind, welcoming, and supportive their entire team is. We kicked off our session with a quick grounding meditation before presenting our work as a use case to an amazing internal group—including the AI, Email, Meeting Notes, Product, and Templates teams.

During our hour-long presentation, we shared our three pillars of work: 
1️⃣ Community building events 
2️⃣ Mentorship of industry leaders
3️⃣ Diverse collaborations

The transformation Notion has brought to our work is immeasurable, especially for a small team with limited resources like ours. But what touched us the most during this hour-long presentation was the chance for open dialogue and genuine interaction with different teams at Notion. They were so eager to hear our feedback, understand our challenges, and offer their incredible support.

We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to interact with an organization that is not just supporting our work, but is also at the very forefront of modern technology and AI. Their innovation is directly enabling our small team to dream bigger and expand our mission: to spread meditation, mindfulness, and inner peace to people all across the globe. 

A heartfelt thank you to all the amazing people at Notion for their continued support. A special shoutout and deep appreciation to @nolanyoga  and Jimmy for organizing our visit, Sam for the tour, and to Akshay for your kind words, support, and encouragement. 

This partnership fills us with hope for how technology can be used as a force for good.
