I am excited to share the fascinating Japanese concept of Ikigai with you again in August 2025. 

Ikigai roughly translates to "Reason for Being". In this workshop we will explore what your Ikigai looks like by placing a lens on the various aspects of the Ikigai. We will identify what you love, your talents, what our community needs more of as well as potential options on how to generate an income. You will leave feeling inspired and more clear on how to take the next step in your life, your field of interest or in your business venture. I am looking forward to creating with you. 

The next Ikigai workshop will take place on Sunday, 31 Aug 2025 from 3 to 5pm. More info coming soon.

"Thanks for holding space for the Ikigai workshop, it was truly motivating. So great to share the space with such insightful and inspiring locals"

"Thank you for running the Ikigai workshop, Ilka. It was a lovely way to meet some new friends and learn something about myself, too."

I am stoked to be facilitating a fun workshop at the Australian Kundalini Yoga Festival in November.

In my workshop we will explore the power of the Kundalini Yoga mantras in a playful setting. Through play we have the chance to create a nurturing connection with our inner child, which in doing so allows us to be inspired, spontaneous, alive and sensitive. This in turn will help us to be affectionately connected with all of humanity and nature. The inner union we can achieve through play and playfulness is an enormous source of power, which helps us to enhance our problem-solving skills, feel more confident in general, deepen social interactions and as such may help us ‘to find a way through any block’. Come and join us in the Byron Shire. Come as you are, come with an open mind and bring your inner child. To view the schedule and the many other facilitators click the button:
