Understanding how the mind works is the beginning of peaceful success.

Kiyomi Koike built and exited a tea company before devoting her work to the deeper question that often follows external success: why do capable, thoughtful people still feel mentally crowded, pressured, and disconnected from clear direction?
Her work now lives at the intersection of neuroscience, Japanese philosophy, tea ritual, and leadership psychology.
She is also a certified Positive Intelligence coach, using that framework as one of several ways to explain how the brain’s survival system shapes thoughts, emotions, and decisions that lead to undesired consequences.
At Zen House Kominka — a historic Japanese farmhouse relocated from Japan to the mountains of Northeast Oregon — she offers online learning, tranquil and transformatice experiences, and private guided retreats designed to help people experience what becomes possible when we understand how our minds work.
