Hi, I’m Rin.

I am a seeker

with wandering eyes, born between cultures — Japanese and Indonesian — in a world where I often felt in-between, seen as “half” yet searching quietly for a place to belong. Growing up in a local Japanese neighborhood, I felt that English was the doorway for me to be someone different, and I carried the subtle pressure to fit into a broader world beyond Japan, even before I fully understood why.

Through university and beyond, I stepped into international spaces — first through friendships, then through travel and study abroad — learning to stand not as “the Japanese girl”, but simply as myself, Rin. In Western and global communities, I finally tasted freedom — freedom from cultural constraints, freedom to express, to explore, to become someone that I wanted to be.

Yet, as I reached the dreams I once chased, I discovered a new truth: that this outer freedom alone could not satisfy the deeper seeker within me. The physical practice of yoga first opened a doorway inward, teaching me to listen to my body, to trust intuition, and to find presence beyond achievement.

But even yoga’s physicality held limits until I encountered the rich philosophy of yoga alongside the spiritual teachings of Islam. This awakened in me a reverence for a higher presence — a divine light beyond the self — and a call to live with honesty, morality, and gratitude. It reconnected me to roots I had long set aside, shifting my values from a Western lens back toward my roots and spiritual foundation.

Now, my seeking is no longer about chasing status, possessions, or appearances. It is about becoming my higher self — walking with purpose, embodying kindness, and contributing quietly to the wellbeing of those I love and the world around me.

I am still a seeker — not lost, but evolving — a companion to others walking their own paths back to the light within. This is the luminous path I now walk, and it is with open heart and steady step that I invite others to walk with me.
