Course Description

Have you struggled to integrate what you love doing, with what can bring you financial security in your life? Maybe you have reached a career crossroads or cannot decide what course or job will suit you best? It may be you feel unfulfilled in your life and you have an unsettled sense of purpose? Have you wondered what is the fundamental point of your existence?

IKIGAI is an ancient Japanese personal development framework, that helps you to identify your reason for being, your life purpose, by focusing on four main spheres in your life:

1. It helps you identify what you most love
2. Establish what you are best at
3. Helps you to understand what the world needs from you
4. Identifies what you can be rewarded for

Life planning with IKIGAI, helps you find the 'sweet spot' in the middle of these four spheres of your life, to help you find personal enlightenment and to manifest the life you desire.

Finding your IKIGAI will help you to live every moment with true purpose.

We will coach you through the four Ikigai spheres using open questioning techniques that will encourage you to trust the process and open your mind and heart to your fullest potential. We will keep you focused throughout this course by asking you testing, deep questions, that will uncover your potential in a confidential and safe process.

We are with you through this online IKIGAI course, every step of the way. If you have any questions at any point, just send us a message and we'll reply the same day to give you guidance and support and help you on your way.

By the end of our IKIGAI process you will know your answers to the four spheres and will have found your 'sweet spot', your life purpose and your reason for being. We will work with you to create your personal plan for manifesting and living your optimum vocation and life going forward, by introducing you to Life Map by Neya®

I bought this course because I wanted to have an introduction to what ikigai is to complement the activities I do at the men's circle I hold. I was gladly surprised to find so much valuable content here. I specially loved the method they use to navigate the 4 circles of the ikigai diagram, as well as the final interview with Nick because that led me to listen to his podcast and to a vault of further valuable material. I feel so much more competent to talk about this topic in my circle, and I have both Sonya and Neil to thank for that.

very interesting, good explanation, many examples, The trainers are dynamic and eager to pass on their knowledge and to be understood. And that's important. I would like juste a good translation in french, subtitles are not always good.. (ikigai = ik guy )

I just wanted to share how deeply connected I already feel with you both as course creators, you have such likable personalities. Listening to you feels like a refreshing breath of fresh air! This course is helping me revisit myself in such a unique and meaningful way, it's like rediscovering parts of me I didn’t even realize were so much part of who I am meant to be. It’s guiding me to align and bring together those intuitive feelings and ideas I’ve always had but never quite knew how to bring together and express, both to myself and others. . I’m so happy I chose to take this course because it’s already making a real difference in how I’m beginning to understand my purpose in a new way. Thank you for creating such an inspiring and impactful experience, especially so early on in the journey. I genuinely feel excited and motivated as I work through each lesson! and I find myself thinking about the lessons long after I have closed my laptop.

The sound is not good. Especially for the case studies it is really hard to hear. Neil and Sonya are mic'ed but not the interviewees.

By Elmarie Bouwer on 8/25/2024

Contents is good thus far, the "Case Studies" - I have to be honest for the sake of the quality of your course - the "sound" is frustrating in the Case Studies. One does not hear the person that is being interviewed. Be assured of my best intentions.

Loved this course. Sonya and Neil were exceptional, demonstrating not only deep knowledge of their craft but also an inspiring ability to connect on a personal level. The process encouraged profound self-awareness and acceptance. It's a brilliant tool for anyone looking to bring their best self to their work and personal life. The blend of theory and practical exercises was perfectly balanced, making the learning both engaging and applicable. It's rare to find a program that so effectively merges personal development with professional growth, and the Ikigai process does this beautifully. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their purpose and a more integrated approach to wellness and career satisfaction. Lorraine

I've just finished lessons 1-3 and I'm really enjoying the material and especially the case studies, very authentic production, not over-produced/edited. The two presenters are easy to listen to and we get a glimpse of their own lives, hopes and dreams. Well done, d

I loved the simple yet thorough way of explaining everything, I like very much the energy of the lecturers. They speak and teach in a very pleasant way. Highy recommend this course! Very useful and eye opening.

By Pisani Maria Michela on 3/10/2022

I already had three levels About Quantum Healing Crystal with Sonya, but this Course with Neil, was simply a powerful of energy for me. I was so in these lectures and dreamed about even my near future (never so strong happened). I started a little business plan for my near future, hoping to thank Sonya and Neil very soon for these amazing gift, sharing us their experience.

By Christiane on 11/30/2021

Great Course, I learned a while ago about Ikigai, but felt now was the time to dive deeper into it. Great explanations and the knowledge of Sonya and Neil make this course definitely worthwhile taking. Thank you so much as well for answering the messages so fast :-) not all instructor do that
