Namu

Namu is an explorer of consciousness in this brief interval between birth and death. He has practiced in various traditions in monasteries and meditation centers across Myanmar, Thailand, India, Nepal, and the U.S. His curiosity about how much freedom and beauty is possible continues to guide his practice and what he shares with others.

In the past, Namu has managed products at Google, traveled the world making videos, and built software tools to help people be more mindful online. He loves long retreats and values the importance of enjoyment, play, and experimentation in practice. His most impressive ability is eating oatmeal every day on a 3-month retreat and loving it every single time.
