Sustainability Ikigai

A few years ago, I found a beneficial tool to figure out life—the Ikigai. Ikigai is a Japanese concept that can be translated as “a reason for being.” It helps people figure out what they find worthwhile in life and what gives them a sense of meaning. I adapted it a bit for workshops and coachings to fit the context of sustainable lifestyles, which aligns the personal goals, aspirations, and wellbeing with the planet’s.
