 “Ikigai” is the Japanese secret for living and aging well. In this workshop we will take a deep dive into discovering how “Ikigai” can operate in your own day-to-day life. Would you like to unearth where it is already taking place? Are you curious about how you can increase your Ikigai or find new sources and develop more Ikigai? If you’d like to explore how you can personally benefit from this Japanese approach to life and to aging, you will enjoy this workshop where, in the larger group and in dyads, you will have opportunities to learn more about your own Ikigai and to share your new insights with others.
