We are very excited to share our first published Our Meditation song from an album we have been working on.

Sometimes the best thing we can do is stop carrying was what never ours to hold.

Lay It Down is an invitation to pause, breathe, and gently release whatever has been weighing on your heart and mind. We're hoping this meditation song will offer a space to breathe.

If this brings you even a moment of peace, we'd love for you to share it with someone who may need that same reminder today.

With much love. Deniece

When the sun rises, even though there’s only one sun, it is reflected in every body of water on earth, from tiny drops of dew on plants to great oceans. As long as the water isn’t covered, the sun is reflected in it. But the sun doesn’t have a motivation to be reflected in the water; it doesn’t have to put any effort into it—those reflections spontaneously appear. Similarly, after we achieve full enlightenment we spontaneously, perfectly guide sentient beings by revealing various means with our holy body, speech and mind.

Thank you Mackenzie Scott Foundation! I’m off today to deliver some meals with my dad!

In April 2026, MacKenzie Scott (Jeff Bezos’ first wife) donated $70 million to Meals on Wheels America. 

This wasn’t just a symbolic gift—it was:
• Unrestricted funding, meaning the organization can use it wherever it’s most needed
• Intended to expand services for seniors, especially those who are isolated or homebound
• A way to strengthen local delivery programs (5,000+ across the U.S.) 

Meals on Wheels doesn’t just deliver food—it also provides human contact, safety checks, and a sense of being seen, which is often just as vital as the meal itself.

From Separation to Connection: How Everything Arises Dependently

This Thursday at 6:00 PM Pacific, Our Mettaverse has the deep honor of welcoming
Robina Courtin as our guest speaker.

Venerable Robina is a renowned Buddhist nun and teacher known for her clarity, depth, and unwavering compassion. Her teachings have a way of cutting through confusion while still holding us gently—inviting both insight and heartfelt connection.

She will be guiding us through the profound teaching of Dependent Arising—the understanding that nothing exists independently, and everything arises through causes and conditions.

In a world that can so easily feel divided, this teaching offers something quietly radical…
a return to seeing how deeply connected we truly are.

Not as an idea—but as a lived experience.
