    I love the guided mediation and teachings. Simple and practical. No need to be a Buddhist to gain…read morebenefits. It made me feel calmer, lighter, more peaceful---and motivated to develop a sitting practice-- I started a few minutes of sitting a day-- it helped me a lot to just let go and stop all the mental chatter. I'm amazed how I feel more connected --it changes the rhythm of the day!

    Great place to learn how to meditate if you are new to it and curious. Also a solid avenue if you…read morewant to deepen an existing practice and commit to studying the Buddha's teaching more in depth. You'll probably want to check on their website, but I believe there are study groups on Tues/Thurs evening, Heart Jewel recitation at 10am M-F, and open guided lunchtime meditation at 12:15 M-F. Sunday morning classes are good for a drop-in: the meditation isn't too long but you work on your concentration and then ponder a topic in depth. The topic I sat in on was on the benefits of meditation - which, even though we may vaguely guess that it's healthy and have ideas about it calming us down or helping us focus better - it's kind of like exercise or eating right: Not all that pleasurable in the immediate, but with time and applied efforts, the benefits begin to manifest. Then we start to habituate our minds to virtue till it becomes more effortless. You know when you start craving healthy food and then are surprised? You're like - "Kale?! Really?!?!" And you like it. Then you LOVE it. Yeah, it's like that. Atmosphere is good. It's Hampton's esque and hard wood, complete with symmetrical offerings on the altar. The folks who go regularly are great and hail from a variety of backgrounds - artists and lawyers and dentists and cops. Kidding! I only vaguely remember meeting artists, but I'm sure some folks there were bankers - after all, this is the Hamptons. Sometimes there are delightful treats like cookies and cakes, and there is always a nice giant vat of tea. Sitting outside in the sun around the Buddha garden was also one of my favorites things; talking to people before and after class. Venerable Norden, the resident nun, is ACE. I was a bit intimidated to meet her at first - there is this secret power that some monks and nuns have due to the depth of their practices - YO - they can SEE your mind. And we all know our minds are total garbage. So it can be a little squirmy and unpleasant-like. But see, here's the deal with her magical powers: she will always find a way to encourage your practice. She is also a surgeon - like the Buddha - who will swiftly and with psychic precision expose whatever silly garbage you're riding on in your mind. The purpose of this is not to harm or intimidate you, but to give you whatever you need in the moment: whether that is a dose of 'calm down - you're not special' or whether it is 'hey, rejoice: you're not doing all that bad - this is all really ok - good, even.' Obviously I prefer the latter!!!! But that is because I am super samsaric and pretty much ONLY care about praise, gain, etc etc. In any case: Buddhism ain't easy. It's a tough, hard, rocky TRUE path for TRUE cessations. It's nice to be able to enjoy the rough navigation of chaotic inner waters in such a beautiful, calm environment amongst kind and curious people.

    I was in Sag Harbor last year and stumbled upon MONC XIII and I'm glad I did! They have an amazing…read morecollection of uniquely curated furniture and home decor you just won't find anywhere else. The store is so welcoming and amazingly decorated you almost have no choice but to check it out. It's like the best of Pinterest all landing in one store. You can find your dream home all within these four walls. I went online recently to do some perusing as I miss being in Sag Harbor right now and ended up purchased some items from their online store. All the items arrive in perfect condition with a hand written thank you note from the owners themselves, Matt & Natasha. It was like receiving a gift from old friends. What a great experience. When I am back in town, I will most definitely make an effort to visit MONC XIII again. The owners live locally and are a pleasure to interact with both in person and remotely. Great place, great vibe and just great people. A winning trifecta.

    We were in town for a wedding and read that this place was on Her Highness, the O.G. of the…read moreHamptons, Ina Garten's must see list. As an acolyte, I knew I needed to check it out. We're remodeling our home in Palo Alto and as tech new money have a substantial budget (AKA can spend plenty of money on decor). We browsed, respected all the no touching and sitting signs we saw, until we made a fatal mistake and decided to pick up a wood bowl. This was apparently a step too far for the woman managing the store and we were chased out for daring to put our dirty hands on her precious bowl. Even worse, she decided to shame us by letting us know how expensive it was. Now, I get it. It's a fragile bowl. Maybe put a sign on it, like 90% of the other items in the store, if you really don't want people to touch it. But, considering the way they treated the preppy white dude who entered at the same time, I have a suspicious as to why we were treated so poorly. If you're furnishing a museum dedicated to racism and shitty behavior, boy do I have a recommendation for you. Otherwise, hard pass. Go down the street to Comerford Collection or Sylvester & Co - much nicer people and service. P.S. Worst treatment I've gotten in SO LONG that I created an account for everyone else to know. Really awful.
