YOUR INVITATION:
ZEN & SIP SALON
NEW Monthly Virtual Membership Curated by Sarika
Joy, Connection & Relaxation for Fabulous Women Creating Change!
Networking Elevated + Face Yoga + Japanese Sake & Philosophy + Unique Popup Events in a Cozy LIVE Private Virtual Salon
Go from 1 ➡️ 4! Priceless
💕Are you a fabulous heart-centered female entrepreneur or intrepreneur on a mission to create positive social change, one little step at a time?
(*Intrepreneur = creating change inside an organization)
If so, I’d love to invite you to a brand NEW fun and cozy space for relaxation, inspiration, and meaningful connection with other incredible women on a mission. We'll gather over unique LIVE events in an intimate, virtual Salon, off social media and away from global geo-politics momentarily. Come as you are. Bring your beautiful soul. I feel like we need this now, more than ever.
As a Japanese women, I know that the Gender Gap is real, and connecting with other like-minded women on a mission has always empowered me to keep pushing forward and create magic! More power (and money) in the hands of heart-centered women will do good, right?!
💕Because visionaries deserve some fun downtime to fuel our grand missions! It's essential for our well-being and productivity.
Happiness is so important in life! It’s vital to the journey itself, and not just the destination, right?!💕
At this half-way point in my life, I felt called to create a space where we can come together to inspire, motivate, and support one another, and where I could bring together all my expertise in a fun way to uplift others on their own journeys, and have fun myself!
Love, Sarika

Connection
As women creating positive social change, we often get so absorbed in our mission that we become so busy, stressed, and socially isolated, losing sight of the joy that fuels our goals.
The Salon brings joyful, relaxing, and inspiring events to brighten our face and spirits, while connecting with other fabulous women on a mission. Introverts warmly welcome! (Did you know I'm an introvert that is often mistaken as an extrovert?!)
There is also a private community where we can connect in between our LIVE Salon events, hosted on a great platform outside of social media, and we can go LIVE inside without Zoom!

Relaxation
Did you know we all unknowingly carry stress on our faces? Face Yoga is a powerful, all-natural way to release that “RBF” and facial tension - both physically from the face and emotionally from the heart. It feels so good.
As a certified Face Yoga Method instructor 💕, I’ll be sprinkling in quick facial relaxation sessions throughout our Salon events.

Women Visionaries
You’re a busy women visionary - building a business, or family, or shaping society, with your passion for positive social change, in whatever form it may be!
As a Japanese woman, half-a-century-young (!), I can tell you that gender stereotyping and inequality are still very real. That’s why having a fun, safe space where we can come together to inspire, motivate, and support one another is essential💕
-
Need a Fun & Fabulous Self Care?!
Busy visionaries need joyful downtime to fuel our missions!
I know, as a multi-passionate entrepreneur, everyday life can be chaotic! But we always have the choice to take a moment for ourselves to prevent burnout: a mini break to reconnect with joy, relaxation, and inspiration, all while nurturing our souls in the company of like-minded women.
-
Shared Values of Equality & Kindness
We stand for gender and racial equality, honesty, and kindness, welcoming people who share the same values.
This is absolutely non-negotiable.
Thank you for your understanding💕

My great-grandma, Chifu's self-portrait,1928, on her solo journey from Japan to Europe, aboard the ship in the middle of the Indian Ocean | From her published memoir
Ciao! I’m Sarika
Lovely to meet you!
I'm a United Nations Official turned entrepreneur, on a mission to to share Joy through Japanese Sake & Face Yoga. I love to eat & drink!
After living and working in 14 countries in 4 continents - Asia, Africa, Europe and North America - and starting a family, I founded my own company. What truly lights me up is connecting incredible people through my work, and I like to think that my superpower is bringing people together!
My entrepreneurial journey began during the pandemic, with a desire to share my love for our 2000-year-old Sake, a beautiful, but declining craft. I also founded a Sake-infused cosmetics brand, awarded the 2024 European Natural Beauty Awards. To this day, I'm also still in awe that over 11,000 students are enrolled in my online courses! Fortunately, I had the opportunity to be in the first cohort of the EU Women Entrepreneurs Fellowship and the London School of Economics Female Founders.
As my business grew, I felt called to reconnect with my soul’s mission - supporting and uplifting women. (My last UN posting was at the Women's Empowerment Section for Asia-Pacific, and I know how much work still remains to be done.)
My great-grandma, Chifu, was one of the earliest Japanese women to attend university, a hundred years ago, defying all odds. She even crowdsourced (!) to fund a solo 40-day boat journey to Europe, knowing her family would oppose the idea. She was ahead of her time in pursuing education and independence, at a time when Japanese women were expected to stay “in their place.” (In contrast, my paternal grandma had an arranged teenage marriage to my much older grandpa.)
Inspired by the women who went before me, and growing up experiencing gender stereotyping in Japan, my drive for positive social change—toward an inclusive, equal society—has always been a guiding force. It's the reason why I originally joined the UN because I wanted to change the world!
At this half-way point in my life, I felt called to create a cozy space where I could bring together all my expertise from Face Yoga to Japanese Sake to women's empowerment - to uplift and empower others on their own journeys.
Now, I’m thrilled to meet and connect with other visionary women like you. I created this Salon for meaningful connection, inspiration, and relaxation, because we all need a little fun downtime to achieve our big missions. (I bet my great-grandma would have loved to join us!)
I can’t wait to welcome you to the Zen & Sip Salon! You’re meant to be here💕
Love! Sarika
