Welcome to creating Ikigai, I’m your host Tighisti, join me as I explore this Japanese concept of purpose, its relationship to happiness, the impact of trauma and the endless possibilities of healing through the path of Ikigai. Through conversations with artists, musicians, scientists, therapists and educators, we will delve into trauma and how it informs or misinforms our decisions, the science of trauma responses and how our experiences and senses can be our allies as we seek practical tools in the aim of living up to and stepping into our purpose.
