Say Goodbye to Awkward Networking

Tired of walking into a room and wondering who to talk to? We hear you. Back by popular demand after our hit Autumn social, this year’s Summer Kickoff is a 100% "Structured Social." There will be zero standing awkwardly in corners. Instead, we’ve designed a dynamic, guided afternoon of movement activities and cozy, small-group connection circles.

Whether you are a seasoned extrovert or a quiet introvert, our intentional prompts make it effortless to share your story, voice your goals, and ask for the support you need in a safe, celebratory space.

Sun. June 21st, 2026. 1pm-4pm JST

In-person event at Impact HUB in Tokyo

Open to Women in Japan

¥500 for Members of FEW Japan, ¥1,000 for non-members.

What to Expect

Pitch Your Passions & Lead the Way

This is more than our final hurrah before the summer programs hiatus — it’s also a launchpad for second half of YOUR 2026.

The afternoon will be completely interactive and facilitated, with structured micro-pitch circles, conversation prompts, and plenty of low-pressure space to connect with other women and champion yourself.

Plus: We are pulling back the curtain on our upcoming calendar, including the reveal of our FEWture conference in June 2027! We want your voice to shape it.

Want to apply for a leadership role on our Board of Directors, pitch a 15-minute masterclass for next year's stage, or pilot a new member-led Community Circle (like a seasonal book club or Tokyo pub quiz night)? We want to make it happen!

Celebrate the Solstice with Community

Come enjoy a refreshing summer drink at the beautiful Impact HUB Tokyo, connect deeply with mission-driven women, and leave with a clear strategy for your summer goals.

Secure your spot today, bring your big ideas, and let’s kick off the season together!

In-Person event in Tokyo at Arisu Iki-iki Plaza

This event is open to women in Japan

¥500 (Payment required at registration)

Rewrite Your Inner Story, Transform Your Life

We all carry inner stories — the silent narratives that shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world. Some stories empower us, while others quietly limit our potential. In this transformative workshop, you’ll learn how to recognize, rewrite, and realign your inner narrative using powerful tools from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Sophrology.

Through guided exercises, visualization, gentle body awareness, and mindful language shifts, you will:

  • Identify the unconscious patterns that hold you back
  • Reconnect with your authentic values and strengths
  • Learn how to consciously reshape your self-talk and beliefs
  • Cultivate calm, confidence, and clarity for lasting change
  • By changing your inner story, you change the way you experience your life.

Join us for a journey of awareness, release, and renewal — and step into the next chapter of your life with intention and ease.

 

What to Bring:

We will be in a Minami Azabu community center, Arisu Iki-iki Plaza, for this workshop. Please bring your own water and we recommend bringing along a paper and pen.

Our final in-person Members Meeting of the year will be in-person with leadership & communications coach Helen Iwata.

This event untangles the question: if AI tools are everywhere - writing our emails, suggesting our content, even coaching us on how to communicate - how do I stay authentic in a world that's increasingly automated?

This fireside chat is for you whether you’re pro-AI, anti-AI, or AI-curious.

June 11, 2026

In-Person Event at Ten Cups (Registration Required)

Members & Non-Members Welcome

Free for Members / ¥1000 for Non-Members

An Evening with Helen Iwata

 

AI tools are everywhere: writing our emails, suggesting our content, even coaching us on how to communicate. For professional women, this raises real questions:

  • How do I use AI without losing what makes my voice mine?
  • When does AI help me communicate better, and when does it flatten my message?
  • How do I stay authentic in a world that's increasingly automated?

This fireside chat is for you whether you’re pro-AI, anti-AI, or AI-curious. Because all of us need to navigate this moment thoughtfully — especially as women who've worked hard to find and own our voices in professional spaces.

Helen Iwata, a bilingual leadership & communication coach with 35 years in Japan, TEDx speaker, and founder of Sasuga Communications K. K., brings both practical expertise and personal perspective to this conversation.

Are you exhausted? Overwhelmed? Quietly seething with resentments you've never voiced?
You're not alone — and there's a powerful way forward.

Join us for the next session of ROGUE, a transformative workshop created by Sarah Furuya Coaching that challenges everything you've been told about staying positive and pushing through. This isn't about gratitude journals or toxic positivity. This is about honoring your truth and reclaiming your energy.

rogue session 2

POSTPONED TO JUNE 2026

Hybrid event in Tokyo/ on Zoom

Attendees must be a current FEW Member (new sign ups welcome!!)

As a member benefit, this event is FREE

Where We Left Off...

In Autumn, we started the ROGUE process; downloading our resentments, mapping them in a constellation, and sitting with the truths we hadn't said out loud. We oriented ourselves inside the system.

That was the brave part.

Now comes the beautiful part.

The Framework

R

Resentments

We explored our bitter parts without shame.

We listed them, sat with them, and let them be real.

O

Orientation

We mapped the constellation.

We saw the whole system clearly and asked:

What needs to change?

G

Gorgeous

We take the real and make it radiant.

We reimagine the constellation as entirely ideal — filled with beauty, optimism, and possibility.

What glimmers already exist?

U

Unbothered

What if you had already done everything you needed to do? What if there is literally nothing left to achieve your end-game?

We write from that place — first person, highest dream, completely unrealistic.

E

Everyone

When you go rogue it ripples outward.

Who do you need to enlist? Who are your allies?

At every level, develop skills, mindset, and spirit — and offer it back into the collective.

"I know exactly what to do. I may not know it yet — but I am clear in my vision. The only thing stopping me is how much of a good girl I am."

The ROGUE Framework

What This Session Holds

You have already done the hardest part; you told the truth.

Now we lift it.

You will leave with:

  → A clear snapshot of your current situation and the constellation around it

  → A dream scenario; your situation reimagined as ideal, then pushed further

  → An unbridled vision; your highest, most unrealistic imagining, written in first person

  → First steps; a tiny turtle step, a heroic step, and one rogue move
