II. New for 2027
Monks in Residence
Two monks spend a week or more with your organization to provide private mentorship sessions to interested team members.
Almost unanimously shared as the most impactful part of how we support individuals and organizations, this offering isn't therapy or religious chaplaincy. Our mentorship sessions are uniquely effective, because of our own perpetual inner work, a deep understanding of modern problems informed by a colorful range of life experience, and non-attachment to a specific technique or methodology. Before every session, we empty ourselves and fully meet the person where they are at. We use language and concepts that suit the person's sensibilities and guide them to discovering clarity through simple, yet profound wisdom that we've spent over a decade refining, practicing, and sharing with others.
- Day one: an introductionAn organization-wide session to share our stories, meditate together, share resources and set the tone for the week.
- All week: open conversationsTeam members who are interested schedule private mentorship sessions, and organic conversations unfold throughout the stay.
- Last day: what we noticedWhile keeping every personal detail confidential, we debrief the leadership team on the patterns we saw and insights to improve team well-being.
- Afterwards: if it fitsIf the residency proved beneficial and you'd like to deepen the offering, we can co-design a custom Wisdom & Well-Being program for your team, and even study the outcomes to highlight your organization through published research via our professional research partnerships.

Impact Stories
A few stories of how our work impacted some of the leaders and organizations we have served with depth.
Notion
Technology · San Francisco · Since 2024
A multi-year relationship with this $10 billion software company whose software powers all the work we do. It began with a tour of their headquarters and grew into sessions with their teams, global conferences for all their employees, mentions by their founders, live events at their HQ, and tools built together.
- Virtual sessions. We were invited to run a meditation and product-feedback session with the product marketing team, which led to invitations to run meditation and wisdom sessions for their employees across their 6 locations around the world via Craft & Values Week in 2024 and 2025. The coordinator shared our session was one of the highest rated experiences of the week.
- Resources built together. Their templates team helped us design two resources: the "Meditate like a Monk" journal and "Simply Still," a meditation habit builder.
- Events at headquarters. A template launch and evening meditation at Notion HQ in 2025, and an hour session at their new HQ meditating and sharing product feedback in 2026.
CEO Ivan Zhao told our story during his keynote at Make with Notion in 2024.
I never thought [Notion's users] would also include monks, who use it extensively to coordinate meditation events and organize their writing. SO heartwarming!

Thrive Alternatives
Private equity · Singapore · Since December 2024
A global private-markets investment and advisory firm. We join its company retreat every year, and its chairman has carried the work into the wider private-equity industry.
- Company retreats. We have conducted custom meditation and wisdom workshops during Thrive's annual off-site for two consecutive years.
- One-on-ones for employees. Alongside the workshop for 2025, we opened up for one-on-ones and the schedule filled up very quickly, leading to many deeply impactful mentorship sessions where we went straight to the heart of where each individual was stuck.
- Into the wider industry. A fireside chat with Chris Lerner about stillness and its positive impact on professional life, followed by a co-facilitated evening event including meditation at SuperReturn Asia in Singapore 2026, Asia's largest private-equity conference.
After a warm reception, many future events, mentorship, and research opportunities have opened up to bring wisdom deeper into the P.E. sector.
They possess a rare combination of intellectual rigor, humility, compassion, and practical teaching ability [and] have become active partners in our leadership development efforts through carefully curated group workshops and individual one-on-one counseling sessions for our employees.

RCW Athletic Club
Athletics · Lancaster, Pennsylvania · Since 2023
A tennis and fitness club whose owner, George Zink, invited us after years of watching our videos. Three years on, the deepest work has been the quietest: private conversations with his team and family.
- One-on-ones with leaders and staff. Private mentorship conversations helped employees and leadership navigate a wide array of challenges that had previously kept them stuck.
- Mass meditation events. We ran 3 successful candlelight meditation events with supplementary wisdom talks on their indoor courts that drew upwards of 215 people from the local community.
- Mentoring a professional athlete. George's son Tyler, a pro player on the ATP Tour, uses grounding practices that help his performance.
- Meditation in the junior program. George opens practice for the club's roughly 1,500 junior members with a guided meditation.
Next: George is an eager research partner.
They spent time one-on-one with our leadership team and staff, asked thoughtful questions, listened without judgment, and helped people understand themselves better. I watched people become more self-aware, take more ownership, communicate better, and grow as leaders.

Miracles Asia
Addiction recovery · Phuket, Thailand · Since December 2025
A residential treatment center for people committed to their sobriety. We spent significant time meditating and conversing with clients, assessing the needs of the facility, and creating a custom meditation and wisdom habits program that they have implemented.
- Learning the program first. Two days with the executive, administrative and clinical teams, meeting clients and leading six meditation and mindfulness-based psychoeducation sessions.
- Feedback: from clients and their clinicians was overwhelmingly positive as many claimed they had found the most powerful tool for their recovery and touched inner peace for the first time in their lives.
- Custom Program: we custom designed materials, resources, and a program for the staff to run for clients while in rehab and a recovery-focused morning mindfulness routine that they could take home with them upon discharge to power their journey to sustainable sobriety.
What struck me most wasn't just the alignment of values (though that was remarkable), it was hearing from our team and clients about how you and Venerable Michael made ancient wisdom immediately practical and accessible. That's exactly what people in early recovery need, and the feedback has been unanimous.
