Between What Is and What’s Possible: Discover Your Ikigai
Discover your purpose to build the life that you want.
We all want to be driven by passion. But somewhere along the way out deeper why can get lost in the expectations, life events, economic pressures – that start to make your life a blur of weekdays rather than something filled with meaning.
This workshop is designed to help you reconnect with your why and give you a blueprint on how to be uniquely you.
You will also be joined by other community builders that seek to make meaningful connections with others and themselves.
Who it’s for:
Entrepreneurs, creatives, community builders, and curious minds seeking more depth in how they work and connect.
