testimonials

The only regret I have about the Inner Awareness Workshop was that it ended! I had the pleasure of meeting with Dr. Sakamoto over Skype early in the morning for four two-hour sessions. It was a fantastic way to start my day. After each session, I felt lighter, freer, and more eager to face the day.

The Inner Awareness Workshop is a combination of teaching and practical application. For example, after learning about dream work, I had the opportunity to explore and to deepen my understanding of some recent dreams. The information and exercises on relationships were immediately useful. Dr. Sakamoto not only explains how to use awareness tools, she accompanies participants through steps that they can then repeat on their own. There are handouts for each day of the workshop.

Although we were separated by distance and time zone, Dr. Sakamoto was very much present and ready to join in whole-body activities that used more space. We were not tied to the computer screen.

Dr. Sakamoto approaches her topic with a sense of humor, an open mind, and deep sensitivity. She adjusts the pace to the workshop participant and welcomes questions. The interactive style is ideal for personal growth.
Dr. Sakamoto is a thoroughly trained psychologist and a vibrant, warm person. I highly recommend her Inner Awareness Workshop to anyone seeking greater peace in mind, body, and community.

awareness intensive sessions (onsite/Phone/online)

I have condensed what I believe is essential for leading a conscious and meaningful life into four main areas of learning. It is a workshop and customized awareness training in one. You can take the Intensive either by yourself, with your partner/friend/a family member, or with an existing group you are with.

In the Awareness Intensive, you will be introduced to ideas and practical approaches that allow you to navigate through various life scenes more fluidly and with more awareness. Although it is recommended to take all four sessions for integral learning, each session is a standalone workshop and can be taken individually;

PART 1: Live Your Life as Martial Artist
-- Basics for Conscious Living --

PART 2: Creative Dream Interpretation

PART 3: Conscious Relationship

PART 4: Transforming Yourself, Transforming the World

learn more about each session

Each session is 2 hr long and includes tutorial of theory and discussion, as well as practical exercises I will guide you through that you can keep for your back pocket. If you would like, we can choose your real life situation so that you can have first-hand experience of applying the approach to your everyday life.

This is also a wonderful way to prepare for short-term and long-term counseling and therapy sessions. You will have already acquired deeper awareness of your life and some basic skills to explore issues by the time you begin, so that the proceeding sessions will be more effective.

The approaches I will be introducing have proven beneficial for many people who changed their attitudes toward life fundamentally and made their everyday reality into a magical and continuous journey of self-transformation.
