AWAKEN, EMBODY, & EXPRESS YOUR TRUE NATURE

Spiritual inquiry is a means to awaken to our true nature, where we can discover the freedom that comes from meeting our experience just as it is, with curiosity, kindness and clarity. As we do so, we begin to navigate life from an awareness of and deep trust in the moment-to-moment unfolding. Developing our capacity to live from this sense of fundamental wellbeing is the focus of my teaching and our work together, as well as my direct experience in my own journey.  I offer opportunities for gather in inquiry on retreats and daylongs, in small groups, and in one-to-one mentoring sessions. I’ve found that practicing with spiritual friends is powerful. No one arrives on their own. Ultimately, we awaken with and for each other. Join me to awaken, embody, and express your true nature in your life and in the world.

Joryu Myosei (JOH-ree-yoo mee-yoh-SAY) means “quiet dragon, luminous vow” and is the dharma name given to me by one of my spiritual teachers, the Reverend Daijaku. Most people call me Myosei or Myo for short.

WORK WITH MYOSEI

Retreats

Retreats offer an immersive environment dedicated to slowing down, listening in, and deepening our connection to ourselves, others, and the natural world. Designed to provide a space free from the distractions of daily life, participants can cultivate a quiet mind, an open heart, and an embodied presence.

Gatherings

We gather for many reasons, but at the heart of it, gathering fills a deeper need for belonging, connection, and shared meaning. Practicing in community is a powerful catalyst to awakening. Far from a solitary path, awakening unfolds in relationship – with the world, with each other, and with our direct experience.

1:1 Mentoring

With one-to-one spiritual and life mentoring, we focus our sessions on what's most present for you and then follow aliveness – as it unfolds, moment-to-moment. Together we follow your process, co-creating a way of working that is unique to you, in service to the fullest expression of your being in your life, relationships, and work. 

AWAKENING TOGETHER

Reflections from Students, Collaborators, & Sangha

  • "Myosei is a unique being. One who is completely dedicated to living from her essence and to supporting others to live from theirs. As a spiritual guide and healer she brings a vast array of her intuitive and heart-full gifts to those that she serves. If you have had the good fortune to be a client or student of hers you will know just what it is like to be seen and guided by an exquisitely wise and intuitively gifted, deeply loving being. If you get a chance to work with her — jump on it!"

    RIYAZ MOTAN, SPIRITUAL TEACHER

  • “Myosei is kind and gentle while also being strong and practical. She is a source of light in these challenging and dark times. She is deeply committed to her own personal growth and spiritual development which allows her to offer profound wisdom and insight otherwise hard to come by. She weaves her spiritual and intuitive nature into each of her offerings, creating an integrative and holistic approach to healing, growth, and transformation. I trust that all others who work with Myosei in some form or capacity would agree that her healing presence and offerings are impactful, powerful, and profound. I have deep gratitude and appreciation for Myosei and know the lives of others she touches feel the impact of her care.”

    MALAENA GRACE

  • "It's been a pleasure to know Joryu Myosei personally and professionally for over 15 years. I continue to be amazed by her capacity to be so spiritually, psychologically, and energetically attuned to the experience of others while simultaneously remaining grounded and present. Amidst the waves of life, her heart stays open, radiating an unconditional love, joy, and humor that is a true gift for those who get to connect with her. I cannot recommend her highly enough regardless of the needs and interests of those who might seek her out."

    DENNIS KILEY

  • "Working with Joryu Myosei has been a transformative experience. Her deep wisdom, compassionate guidance, and intuitive insight have helped me navigate my life’s journey with greater clarity and deeper trust. I love her engaged, warm presence and supportive style of inquiry and would recommend Myosei to anyone wanting to feel safe, seen, and encouraged to discover and truly express his/her/their authentic self."

    LAURA, MD

  • "I have known Joryu Myosei as a friend and colleague for many years and can attest to her wisdom, compassion, and care for the well-being of others. She is a true bodhisattva; one who has dedicated herself to the path of spiritual awakening and its expression in daily life. Myosei is loving and gentle, but also clear and intellectually astute. Her gift for self-inquiry and her way of guiding others helps her clients unfold, both emotionally and spiritually. In short, I love and admire her greatly, and would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone who seeks greater meaning and engagement in life."

    MI K KIM, PSYCHOTHERAPIST

  • "Myosei is kind, warm, and generous of spirit. She’s someone who makes you feel comfortable in your own skin. From that place, she welcomes you into your own humanity and what lies beyond. Her poise and grace allow me to visit difficult places with loving kindness. She meets my fears and my moments of openness equally with clarity, compassion, and love. Myosei is at once both powerful and soft in her presence. With her I am able to experience my deepest knowing so that I can see more clearly what I am and what I am not. She inspires me to soften and move toward my truths. I encourage you to spend time in the clarity of her mirroring in the process of becoming your fullest self."

    RYAN CROCHIERE

  • “When the work shows up, as it inevitably does, we are all so lucky to have Myosei. She is an expert witness, healer, and guide that points towards the truth and eternal wisdom that helps us find our way. She shows up with abundant love, and an intuition that penetrates the spiritual, energetic, mental, and physical realms. She has the most noble of intentions and deepest clarity in her work. My relationships have deeper compassion and connection today because of the time I’ve spent with Myosei.

    HEIDI

  • "Myosei, the way you radiate a quality joyful presence and wisdom inspires a field of heartfelt meeting in retreat. Your devotion and service are so natural and generous, inspiring trust and ease. Thank you for showing up the way you do - it opens the field and welcomes all of our Beings."

    LISA

  • “Myosei is a force of nature, in service of truth and wholeness. Along with her warmth and clear mind, she wields an intuitive diamond spearhead that will pierce your heart and liberate a forgotten treasure within yourself. That is what happened to me! It was a profound and powerful experience that continues to reverberate. I experienced firsthand how she elegantly and generously embodies joyful service. Her commitment to the way of the Bodhisattva is palpable and has inspired my own.”

    ALEXANER ZESATI

  • “I was introduced to Joryu Myosei through a past relationship back in 2017. I had always thought of myself as a spiritual person, but I didn't have the tools, nor did I understand what it really meant to be enlightened. Before I began, I felt lost, confused, and misunderstood. I was very open to the process and found it very easy to speak with Myosei. She has helped me grow in ways I never imagined. The last 7 years have been transformative for me, and I owe it to the work we do in our sessions. I am now able to understand what it means to live authentically and to experience myself as a light being. I consider her to be my spiritual mentor. Whether in-person or over the phone, our sessions are ground-breaking. I am truly grateful for having found this journey of self-exploration and light.”
