On Thursday, June 26, 2025, we held the "IKIGAI Online Seminar 2025." The theme of this seminar was "Japanese Way of Thinking and Being: Learning about Harmony and Pride."

Participants from Japan and abroad gathered together for the 90 minutes where they were given the opportunity to think deeply about their own values and way of life, using Japanese values and philosophies as a guide.

The lecturer was Mizuki Ogura, CEO of Kokou Inc., and she gave a lecture, including workshops, on the three themes of "Self-love and self-concept," "Establishing identity," and "Redefining happiness through gratitude."

In addition, an art program was also implemented by Toshiya Asami, and a project was started in which participants submitted photos and stories that expressed themselves, and these were then visualized as works of art.

The special guest was Helen Robinson from Destinations Coaching , and it was a valuable time that broadened the scope of the dialogue while also sharing perspectives from different cultures. We will continue to plan events that will satisfy many people. Please look forward to the next event information!
