About

Helping people reconnect with themselves through deep inner work.
At Chobo-An, "listening to the Dharma hermitage" I offer one-on-one spiritual companioning for those feeling lost, burdened, or cut off from their deeper self.
This work is grounded in presence, honesty, and compassionate attention. It's not about fixing or forcing change. It’s about creating space to slow down, hear yourself clearly, and come home to who you really are.

MY APPROACH

My practice is rooted in Zen, especially the tradition of zazen, silent, seated meditation. This tradition teaches us to sit still, look inward, and meet whatever arises with courage and curiosity.But our work together won’t be limited to Zen forms. I bring all of myself, my training, my wounds, and my humanity, to create a space where you can bring all of yourself, too. We’ll explore the inner terrain together, always guided by your own questions and lived experience.

ABOUT REV. SOKO

I’m a Zen priest and spiritual companion trained in the Rinzai tradition of Japan. My journey began in 2013 in Seattle at Chobo-Ji, and in 2019 I moved to Japan, where I was ordained and entered into the monastery. I’ve since lived and practiced in temples across Japan, returning to Seattle in 2025 to offer this work in service of others.I’m not here as an authority with answers but as someone who’s walked (and still walks) through confusion, loss, and the slow work of self-discovery. I believe the path unfolds best when we walk it together.
