Welcome! My name is Yuri Yamamoto. As Accompanist for the Soul, I walk with you in your life journey, either individually or as a group. I listen to your stories with compassion to help you heal from pains and suffering and become more authentic and resilient with deeper connections with your own stories. We may also create music, art, movement, or writing, walk in nature, or read sacred texts.

I consider the journey toward authenticity as a life-long project. We will walk together as co-travelers. Expect to be challenged and challenge me in our interactions.

I am committed to advancing the anti-oppression and multiculturalism. I believe that the white supremacy culture harms most people, if not everyone, across race, gender, sexual orientation, and disability. My goal is to create communities for collective liberation through personal transformation.

Ready to begin?
