What is Ikigai?

Ikigai (生き甲斐) is a Japanese concept that means “a reason for being.” It’s the quiet but powerful feeling that your life has meaning — found where your passions, skills, values, and the needs of the world meet.

It’s not always something big. Sometimes, ikigai is in the everyday: sharing a meal, writing a letter, creating something with your hands, or simply taking a moment to breathe.

Why We Exist

Through thoughtfully guided sessions — filled with reflection, creativity, and connection — we help Filipinos explore their inner compass. Whether you're feeling lost, stuck, or simply searching for deeper meaning, our workshops offer a space to pause and reconnect with yourself.
