Our Client Feedback

Saori from Mogami Wellness joined our online writing group to bring the world of calligraphy to us. What we got was so much more. Saori has a wonderful calming presence and the group was immediately transfixed. The complexities of Japanese-style wellness were so clearly and thoughtfully shared with us (not taught but shared). We were given the space to absorb Saori's creativity, wisdom and practice our own calligraphy. At the end of the session we all would have happily listened for twice the time. Saori is a true master - although she would never describe herself as that. Alison Hitchcock - co-founder of From Me to You

Saori was an absolute joy to work with in planning our Learning at Work Week mindfulness calligraphy session. The session was amazing and Saori has a very special calming nature which made the activity all the more enjoyable. The content covered was nothing short of inspiring and all our employees loved learning a new artform that most had never tried before. If you're up for a session that really opens up your mind and calms your soul, this is the one! Sophie Mann - Global Employee Experience Partner, Human Resources of Blis Global

From the participants

I loved the way Saori took the time to explain the deeper meaning of each kanji. She has a warm, friendly manner which created a calm feeling in the workshop. It was such a wonderful opportunity to turn inwards and reflect with the other attendees.

I really enjoyed writing the Kanji and hearing about how the different strokes can indicate how you're feeling or what's on your mind. The explanation of Shodou, it was an enlightening experience.

Saori creates such a warm and welcoming atmosphere to try Japanese calligraphy. It was such a calming experience.
