Mariko Pitts | Core Synergist for the Holomovement, Event Designer, PR Strategist, and Builder of Coherent Fields

What happens when joy becomes the organizing principle?

In this episode, Zenka Caro sits down with Mariko Pitts, Core Synergist for the Holomovement, to talk about purpose, surrender, coherence, grief, service, and the strange magic that happens when the right people gather in the right field. Mariko shares how her journey through public relations, Hollywood, crisis communications, extreme athletes, event design, and personal loss led her to a simple but powerful purpose: to embody more love on the planet and amplify it.

This conversation explores the Holomovement Wave, the power of high-frequency gatherings, and why finding your purpose may be less about forcing an answer and more about relaxing enough to hear the next right step.

In this episode, Mariko and Zenka explore:

• Why joy is not frivolous, but a frequency that can organize your next steps

• How coherent fields create synchronicity, healing, clarity, and momentum

• Why the Holomovement Wave is not a standard conference, but a living field of connection, music, embodiment, collaboration, and purpose

• How Mariko moved from crisis PR and corporate storytelling into service, consciousness, and event design

• Why trying too hard to “find your purpose” can block the very guidance you’re seeking

• How grief, especially the loss of her mother, became part of Mariko’s deepening path

• Why your emotional body is a guidance system

• How simple acts like breath, music, movement, grounding, or one small moment of joy can open the next doorway

• What the world could look like if more people lived from purpose, passion, and collaboration
