The meaning behind our logo
The ikigai image seen below might look confusing at first, but after considering it for a bit, you'll see that it shows how different parts of our lives intersect. That intersection is the basis of our program - how can you bring together your lived experiences, your skills, knowledge, networks and passions to help you feel more purposeful in your daily life?
The ikigai (pronounced ick-ee-guy) is a Japanese concept, which essentially means 'your reason for being' - what gets you excited about getting up in the morning? There are lots of great articles on this concept, but you can click here to read one that we particularly like.
