Understanding how the mind works is the foundation of a successful life that does not cost us our peace.
You've built something real. The responsibilities are significant. The decisions matter.
And yet — the mind keeps spinning. Pressure doesn't clear. The clarity you know you're capable of isn't reliably there when it counts most.
This isn't a capability problem. It's a brain state problem. And it's precisely solvable.
WHAT THIS WORKSHOP IS
The Kominka Method™ Workshop is a 8-week online program that runs alongside the Positive Intelligence® (PQ®) App — combining neuroscience-based brain training with Kiyomi's unique integration of Zen wisdom, the Tea Ritual, and the Kominka Method™ to give you reliable access to calm, clear thinking. On demand. Under pressure. Every day.
This is not another leadership course. It is the operating system upgrade your mind has been waiting for.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
-
8 workshop sessions (20–30 min each), released weekly — the interpretive and leadership-specific layer that makes the PQ® practice immediately applicable to your real decisions, relationships, and challenges
-
12-month PQ App access — the neuroscience-based daily brain training platform (15 min/day) that physically builds the neural pathway from Survival state to Sage state
-
3 private 1:1 sessions with Kiyomi — at Week 1, Week 4, and Week 7 — where the framework is applied directly to what is most alive in your leadership right now
-
The guided Tea Ritual audio practice — your daily sensory anchor for shifting brain state, available anywhere, in any moment
-
The Kominka Method™ Integration — one focused reflection prompt per week, designed to be completed over daily tea ritual in under 10 minutes
HOW IT WORKS
Each week, the PQ App and your workshop session work together as two complementary layers of the same training:
The PQ App builds the neural muscle. The workshop teaches you exactly what to do with it — in your leadership, your decisions, and your life.
Weekly time investment
≈60 min of workshop + coaching content + 15 min/day of PQ App reps
Designed for leaders who are serious — and who have no time to waste.
THE THREE PRIVATE
1:1 SESSIONS IN DETAIL
These sessions are not check-ins. They are not progress reviews. They are the precision instrument of this program — the place where the framework stops being something you understand and becomes something you live.
Session 1 — Week 1: Your Baseline Kiyomi meets you exactly where you are. Together, you map your specific Survival brain patterns, identify your top Saboteurs from your personal PQ Assessment, and establish the two or three areas of your leadership where the Kominka Method will have the highest immediate impact. This session sets the personal direction for everything that follows.
Session 2 — Week 4: Deep Application By Week 4, you have four weeks of daily practice behind you. This session goes into your most persistent or challenging leadership situation — the one that has not shifted yet, or the one where the Survival brain has its deepest grip — and works through it in real time using the full Kominka Method. NOTICE the exact thought. ALLOW the biological reaction. DISCERN fact from Saboteur construction. ALIGN from the Sage's Five Cs. This is private coaching at its most precise.
Session 3 — Week 7: Your North Star The closing session is a forward-mapping conversation. Where has the practice taken you? What has shifted in how you make decisions, hold pressure, and experience your leadership? And from the clarity of the Sage state you have now trained for seven weeks — what does your Compass point toward next? This session closes the program and opens the next chapter.
All sessions are conducted privately on Zoom, recorded for your personal use only, and held in complete confidence.
THE WEEKLY ARC
THE THREE PILLARS OF THIS PROGRAM
The Kominka Method™ Four precise steps — Notice, Allow, Discern, Align — that form the internal architecture of a mind that stays coherent under pressure. Named after the 200-year-old Japanese farmhouse relocated from Japan to Oregon: simple, flexible, and built to last.
The PQ App Six weeks of neuroscience-based brain training, with daily 15-minute sessions that measurably strengthen the neural pathway from reactive Survival state to calm Sage state. Research shows 100 reps per day for six weeks produces visible changes in brain activity — this is not mindfulness. It is brain training.
The Tea Ritual A daily sensory anchor — drawn from centuries of Japanese tea practice — that shifts the brain from Beta to Alpha wave state without requiring the cooperation of the very mind you are trying to reset. Used as the morning baseline, the midday reset, the evening completion practice, and the weekly navigation ritual.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
-
You are thoughtful, growth-oriented, and ready for a different way of relating to stress, uncertainty, and daily life
-
You recognize that even when life looks “fine” externally, your mind may still feel busy, pressured, reactive, or constantly occupied
-
You notice a gap between what you intellectually understand and what you consistently embody during real-life situations
-
You want greater clarity, emotional steadiness, and discernment — not by escaping life, but by learning how to navigate it differently
-
You are looking for a practical, science-grounded framework that helps you understand how attention, thought patterns, and reactivity shape experience
-
You are willing to practice small but meaningful shifts consistently rather than searching for another temporary breakthrough
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF
-
You are looking for a quick fix, instant transformation, or motivation without practice
-
You are unwilling to spend at least 15 minutes per day developing new mental and emotional habits
-
You want someone else to “solve” your life rather than learning how your own patterns, attention, and reactions influence your experience
-
You are only interested in consuming ideas intellectually without applying them in daily life
-
You believe peace or clarity can happen only after life becomes fully predictable or problem-free

Kominka Method™ Integration
This program is designed to help you develop greater clarity, discernment, and emotional steadiness under real-life conditions — not only during calm moments, but during pressure, uncertainty, conflict, and important decisions.
As these capacities strengthen, daily life begins to change:
-
decisions become less reactive and more aligned
-
relationships become less driven by unconscious patterns
-
recovery from stress becomes faster
-
mental noise decreases
-
urgency loosens
-
attention becomes more intentional
-
clarity becomes accessible without needing external conditions to be perfect
Without this kind of integration, many high-functioning people continue operating from invisible patterns of reactivity:
overthinking, emotional exhaustion, binary judgment, internal pressure, and the constant feeling of needing to mentally manage everything before they can fully rest.
The goal is not eliminating challenges.
The goal is learning how to return to clarity more consistently and live from a steadier internal foundation.
To explore whether this work is aligned with where you are right now, begin with a private conversation.
Group Enrollment
Group rates are available for teams, leadership groups, or organizations committed to meaningful growth, stronger discernment, and healthier ways of operating under pressure.
This work is especially impactful when a shared language of clarity, attention, and emotional steadiness is developed collectively.
Payment Plan Available
Flexible payment plans are available for those who prefer a structured monthly investment while participating in the program.
Kiyomi Koike is a Tea Master, entrepreneur, and the creator of the Kominka Method™. She built and exited a tea company across more than two decades — she understands pressure, high-stakes decision-making, and the real texture of leadership responsibility. She brought a 200-year-old Kominka farmhouse from Japan to northeastern Oregon — the first authentic Kominka built for residential use in the United States — and named her framework after its architecture: durable, flexible, and quietly extraordinary.
She is a certified Life Coach, trained in the neuroscience-based Positive Intelligence framework developed at Stanford. Her work sits at the precise intersection of neuroscience, Zen wisdom, and real leadership — and it is delivered entirely one on one, with the full attention and confidentiality that genuine transformation requires.
Kiyomi works with a small number of leaders at any given time. This is by design.
