Haruka’s Journey
This work did not begin with a plan.
Haruka did not expect to be doing what she is doing now.
Her path unfolded gradually—through questions that had been present since childhood:
Who am I?
What is the essence of being?
For a time, these questions were set aside.
During several years in a corporate environment, she learned how easily one can function while feeling disconnected from what feels essential.
A turning point came through creative work.
After studying design at NAFA, Haruka worked in the fine arts field at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute. There, alongside mentors and internationally renowned artists, she encountered a different understanding of work and life—one rooted in observation, process, and exploration without fixation on outcomes.
While studying, an unexpected experience during an internship in Shanghai brought her face-to-face with isolation and uncertainty.
In that unfamiliar place, something quietly shifted.
A long-resisted invitation—to step into yoga and embodied practice—was finally accepted.
That moment marked the beginning of a deeper inquiry.
Over the years that followed, Haruka continued to explore practices that invited listening rather than control.
She spent time in ashrams in India, Vietnam, and France, and learned from monastic traditions in Japan—always alongside ordinary working life, not apart from it.
For a period, she stepped fully into monastic life, exploring what it meant to live simply and to loosen the grip of identity and achievement.
After a year, she returned to Singapore with a new question:
How does one live in harmony within everyday life?
This question continues to guide her work today.
What Haruka offers now is not a conclusion, but a way of being with experience—tested through living, returning, and meeting life as it is.
Experience & Training
Haruka’s work is informed by training and experience across somatic, sound-based, and energetic practices, including yoga and meditation teaching, BodyTalk, sound therapy, and Reiki.
These are not applied as fixed methods, but as resources she draws from in response to what is present.
Mandala-making is one way Haruka listens.
Through years of working closely with color—particularly during her time in the fine arts environment at STPI—her sensitivity to subtle shifts in tone, shade, and relationship was deeply refined.
Over time, color became less about composition
and more about perception.
After returning from monastic life, Haruka began working with color as a way to express how she experiences the world—
not as fixed forms, but as movement, frequency, and relationship.
These mandalas are not created to explain or to heal.
They are offered as quiet companions—
objects of presence that hold space rather than direct it.
People who encounter them often speak of how they subtly support their environments, inviting stillness, attention, and reflection in their own way.

Resonance
This work has been shaped over time through encounters, conversations,
and shared spaces with others.
I name them here with gratitude—
not as authorities or endorsements,
but as part of a wider field of influence
that continues to inform how I listen and work.
