Cezch Republic 2024

First time in the Czech Republic

What unique experiences in the Czech Republic? I felt so privileged to see the Czech president and one of the most famous Czech singers, even though it was my first time visiting this beautiful country. Big shout out to Lucie Bila for such a sophisticated handmade accessory. Thanks, Meltingpot forum, for having me speak and participate in the workshop in Ostrava. Yogetsu Akasaka and Dragon Sound did an epic collaboration at Colours of Ostrava. We come back to Ostrava, and I see Yogetsu and his dream team performing on the main stage of Colours soon. Our music brings everyone to the center of well-being. Ideas without borders!

A Special Visit from Veronika: A Colleague's First Time in Boston

It's not every day that a colleague from across the world visits your hometown, so when Veronika, one of my esteemed colleagues at Biohacker Center in Helsinki, made her way to Boston, I was thrilled to show her around. Veronika and I often cross paths at events in Europe, where our work with Biohacker Center brings us together. However, this was the first time she had ventured to my side of the Atlantic, and I was eager to give her an authentic Boston experience.

From Slack to SXSW: My Journey with Yogetsu Akasaka

Back in the summer of 2020, the world was in lockdown, and I found myself taking an online meditation class at MIT. It was a time of introspection, and like many others, I was trying to find some semblance of peace amidst the chaos. One day, during our discussions on mindfulness and zen, a classmate dropped a bombshell in our Slack channel—a video of a Zen Buddhist priest turned beatboxing sensation, Yogetsu Akasaka. The conversation went something like, "Tateki, do you know him?" My response was a simple "No," but little did I know, this brief exchange was the beginning of something much bigger.
