Sunday: Practice Day with Lama John Makransky -

In this daylong retreat, we will adapt this pattern of practice from Tibetan Buddhism, with some assistance from modern psychology, to make it accessible both for Buddhist practitioners and for people of all faiths who have previous contemplative experience and seek an accessible way to cultivate unconditional love and wisdom.

LAST 48 HOURS. ❤️

We did it. Wake Up Sleepy Buddha is officially funded—and 229 people have helped make that happen.

The Kickstarter closes tomorrow night, September 11. If you’ve been meaning to join us, this is the last chance to be part of the campaign.

Mostly, though: thank you. I’m incredibly moved by how many people showed up for this strange little book. 🙏

More room at Menla! 🏔️

The first batch of economy single rooms for our Wake Up Sleepy Buddha retreat sold out, and Menla has just opened up some additional private rooms for our group.

Join me Feb. 4–7 for a long weekend of meditation, practice, discussion, and community exploring the broader Buddhist path.

If you’ve been thinking about coming—and want your own room—now’s a good time.

Menla, Phoenicia, NY

We did it. ❤️

Last night, Wake Up Sleepy Buddha reached its Kickstarter goal!

I took the night to just let that sink in.

To everyone who pledged, shared the campaign, sent an encouraging note, told a friend, or simply cheered this strange little book along: thank you.

Because of you, Wake Up Sleepy Buddha is going to become a real, physical book.

The campaign is open through September 11—but today, I just want to say:

We made it. 🙏❤️

WE HAVE A MATCH! ❤️

An incredibly generous anonymous supporter has offered to match every new pledge to Wake Up Sleepy Buddha until we reach our $40,000 goal.

We’re already at 83%—so this could get us all the way there.

If you’ve been thinking about supporting the book, this is the moment: every new pledge is effectively doubled.

Thank you all. Let’s bring this thing home! 🙏❤️
