VIRTUAL IKIGAI SUMMIT FEBRUARY 2023
Bringing together insights from the world's leading ikigai researchers, authors and speakers for the world's first international ikigai summit.
Ikigai has become one of Japan's most misunderstood words and culturally appropriated concepts. It’s not a word from Okinawa. It’s not the Japanese secret to longevity. It's not a Venn diagram showing you how to find your bliss or become a successful entrepreneur. And it’s not the pursuit of a single life purpose.
This summit will bring together the knowledge of researchers, authors and speakers to offer various perspectives of ikigai while remaining respectful to Japanese culture and ikigai's origins.
