Mindfulness Facilitation
I facilitate group experiences that explore mindfulness in many forms, from guided meditation and sound/movement journeys to heart-based communication practices and joyful improv activities. My approach is inspired by Buddhist dharma and by my experience as a musician and creative expression teacher. I’m passionate about co-creating safe & brave spaces that invite each person to share their authentic voice, wisdom, and gifts, and I believe that liberation from suffering is both a creative and collaborative process.
I graduated from InsightLA Meditation’s Facilitator Training Program in 2021, and have facilitated practice groups, workshops, and community events there.
TESTIMONIALS
ELIZABETH STARBUCK
Working with Akemi has been one of the greatest privileges in helping me to deepen my meditation practice, and explore new modalities this year.
I always feel seen and heard by her. Sitting with Akemi, holding space, and sharing practice, feels easy and graceful.
Whenever Akemi is facilitating a Sangha gathering, I naturally relax with her gentle but stable guidance leading our group into mindful practice.
Whether it be movement, breathwork, or guided meditation- Akemi is talented enough to lead these activities to groups with beginners and veterans.
When I work with Akemi, I know I am with someone who has met their practice deeply.
I currently co-lead a weekly meditation group in Hollywood on Thursday evenings at 7:30PM - all are welcome!
