YOU’VE READ THE BOOKS.IT’S TIME FOR THE REAL TRANSFORMATION.
A transformational weekend workshop created specifically for Asian Americans.
The Facilitators Have Been Featured In
And Have Coached Leaders At
For Asian Americans Ready to Break Through
You grew up with the blueprint. Work hard. Make your family proud.
But somewhere along the way, the same patterns started showing up — in your relationships, in your career, in the way you talk to yourself when no one’s listening.
You keep pushing. You keep performing. But underneath it, something isn’t working — and you can feel it.
You are done staying the same.
Are you tired of:
You’ve read the books. You see the patterns. Now it’s time to break through them — in a room full of people who understand your experience.
This Is That Room.
Three Days of Deep,Transformational Work.
Not just a motivational seminar. Not just information you’ll forget a week later. This is real, experiential, transformational work that goes to the core of who you are and the patterns that have been keeping you playing small.
Led by four facilitators who understand cultural conditioning, generational patterns, and what it actually takes to break through them.
This is for you if
This is not passive.
You will be challenged.
You will be seen.
You will face what you’ve been avoiding.

The Weekend
A 3-DayBreakthrough Experience
A transformational space built for you. One complete arc — from seeing your patterns to releasing them to walking out with a vision and a plan.
Friday Evening
Reveal
The walls you built to stay safe served a purpose. Tonight, you’ll meet the room and name the patterns that no longer serve the life you want. You’ll open up space so you can connect more deeply with yourself and with others.
Saturday — Full Day
Release
You’ll learn how your nervous system works so you can stop fighting with yourself and start working with your patterns. You’ll somatically release stuck emotions you’ve been carrying and patterns that are keeping you small.
Sunday — Full Day
Renew
You’ll shift from processing to activation and integration. You’ll land in the version of you who can hold the life and abundance you desire. You’ll experience the community you’ve been craving for all this time.
+ Post-Event Integration
30 days of integration and community support to bring your breakthroughs and experience into everyday life.

Each facilitator brings their unique genius to this transformative weekend. Together, they hold every edge of the work — intellectual, embodied, relational, integrative. You will not find this combination in another room.
John Wang
Bestselling Author · TEDx Speaker · Founder, Mastery Academy
John is the bestselling author of Big Asian Energy (Amazon Editor’s Top 20 Leadership Books, 2025) and the voice behind a 240,000-strong community of Asian Americans rethinking what leadership actually means. He has coached at Google, Apple, Amazon, and Goldman Sachs, and has spent 15+ years making the depth of inner work feel credible to the people who need it most: the analytical high-performers who are done with surface-level fixes.
“He’s such an amazing leader. The way he holds space and is so intuitive about what people need — whether that is challenge or very deep compassion.”
— Richard Lee Tai, Waking Dragons
Ami Park
Founder, Awakened Joy · Actor (ABC, NBC) · Abundance Coach
Ami is the founder of Awakened Joy, a coaching practice that has helped hundreds move from scarcity into real, lived abundance — not through mindset shifts alone, but through deep, embodied transformation. A professionally trained actor with credits including ABC’s Alaska Daily and NBC’s This Is Us, she brings a rare ability to work beyond intellect — guiding people to not just understand change, but physically step into it.
“The environment Ami created provided the space to reflect inward, release, and reclaim my focus and peace. I left with clarity, actions, and a declaration to myself.”
— Valerie P., Awakened Joy Retreat
Leo Xia
Founder, JinShan Collective · Proud Asian Men · Artist, Lowhi
Leo is a facilitator, community builder, and artist whose entire practice rests on a single conviction: shame cannot be overcome alone. As founder of JinShan Collective and a core facilitator at Proud Asian Men (in collaboration with the Asian Mental Health Project), he has spent 5+ years building spaces where Asian men do the relational work most people spend their lives avoiding.
“To be facilitated among a group of Asian men has been deeply significant and powerful. I took away a more willingness to know myself and to realize the power of healing with my own people who understand my challenges.”
— Daniel Wong, Proud Asian Men Retreat
Colin Pal
Co-Founder, Waking Dragons · CEO, Atlas Assistants
Colin’s path is one of the most distinctive in any room: he spent his teenage years as a Zen Buddhist monk before stepping out into the world as a CEO and entrepreneur. That arc — from radical stillness to radical action — is the lived foundation of everything he facilitates. As co-founder of Waking Dragons, he has spent years building containers for leaders who are ready to stop waiting for permission and start doing the real work.
“He was able to create a space for me to express my anger in a way I didn’t have to hold back and still come out okay. Being able to express that with him created so much more trust — not fake trust. He’s a leader’s leader.”
— Andy Lee, Waking Dragons Retreat
What People Say After a Room Like This
What People SayOn the Other Side.
“He was able to create a space for me to express my anger in a way I didn’t have to hold back and still come out okay. He’s a leader’s leader.”
Andy Lee
Waking Dragons Retreat
“From somatic work to parts work to channeling anger — it’s been so powerful to see others process things they’ve been bottling up for years.”
Patrick Vin
Waking Dragons
“Being able to be vulnerable, not being scared of being judged, being able to express my fears — that was very enlightening. This is probably one of the best experiences I’ve had.”
Jeremy Pham
Proud Asian Men
“The level of vulnerability and truth we shared through the lens of love and compassion was unreal. I gained the gift of embracing myself — all of me.”
Chanee Uncanny
Awakened Joy
“I left with clarity, actions, and a declaration to myself. I am starting the year awakened, empowered, inspired, and activated.”
Valerie P.
Awakened Joy
“It was so wonderful to be in a space speaking on Asian identity. You all immediately made me feel like I belonged and was safe to be there.”
Maze F.
Proud Asian Men
