JOURNAL: Ch 5:2 Ikigai: Your Purpose

ICEBREAKER: Totem, a game designed to promote self-reflection, mindfulness, and positive emotions

OBJECTIVE: To introduce the concept of ikigai and how it relates to finding purpose and meaning in life. To explore and identify the four key components of ikigai: What you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. To encourage self-reflection on the balance between these elements. To create a visual representation of each participant’s ikigai through art.

DISCUSS:

• What activities make you feel fulfilled or alive?

• When do you feel most "yourself" or at peace?
