Moving to Okinawa is unlike any adventure you’ve likely been on before. There are new experiences and opportunities, but also new challenges as you find your place on this island. The Sakura Seminar takes a whole person approach—Mind, Body and Spirit—to helping you find your best you—and other like-minded individuals along the way.

The Sakura, or cherry blossom, is the national flower of Japan. The delicate, but lovely blossoms symbolize the coming of spring and renewal, as well as the fleeting season of beauty to be embraced—not unlike your time in Okinawa.

Join us for this day of connection—leave feeling refreshed, inspired and ready to make the most of your Okinawa experience. You'll hear from speakers. You'll learn tips and secrets for maximizing your time in Okinawa. You'll make friends to share the journey.

Make connections. Find balance. Bloom.

Mind: Recognizing the signs of stress and learning strategies for adapting to your new environment can ease your transition to a new country and a new way of life in Japan. Slow down the mental buzz, and make space for new activities that make your experience memorable.

Body: Your physical wellness is key to a positive experience. Learn about what (and how) to buy fresh Japanese foods, practice physical relaxation and learn how to use your island environment to re-energize.

Spirit: At the core of who you are is your spirit. It can be difficult to hear your inner voice as you are faced with the changes that come with a major move. Rediscover your center and let it be your guide through your Okinawa adventure.

“It can be so hard—when you’re new on the island to find your way. Not just around the windy roads, but to really adapt—to find your path and to connect with others like you.” This conversation between friends blossomed into The Sakura Seminar. We envisioned a program that cares for you—the military spouse. Along the way, we hope you’ll make a friend or two who can enjoy this journey with you.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS: The Sakura Seminar's organizers are a small group of individuals who saw a need, and sought to meet it. Collectively, we have been affiliated with the military for 148 years! We have over 100 years in both paid and volunteer military service to others. We have moved 58 times. We have lived in 24 states and 13 countries. But most importantly, we all have a passion for making this brief time in Okinawa a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the spouses who make their own personal sacrifices as they support Marines, Airmen, Sailors and Soldiers in service to our nation.
