3 Days On Cultivating Meaning & Purpose Highlights
Storytelling
Surprising to some, research shows that Storytelling is a pillar of having a meaningful life. You need to draw together the threads of your experiences into a narrative that provides clarity over time. A consistent story like this can reveal connections in your life that might otherwise go unnoticed. Consider anyone you look up to—do they have a consistent story of who they are? It’s time to write yours.
Purpose
Purpose is actually an important part of having meaning, but it's not what you may think. Purpose is about channeling meaning into intentional action. This pillar is all about turning your values into clear goals, aligning your daily actions with what genuinely moves you. Through a fresh lens of our Ikigai workshop, you’ll explore new insights on purpose, discovering how to design a life that reflects and responds to your sense of purpose through what you do.
Community
The pillar of Community, or what some researchers call Belonging, emphasizes the profound role of connections in creating a meaningful life. There are various styles for cultivating a sense of belonging, and you’ll discover and articulate your own. This segment explores new approaches to finding belonging—from joining affinity groups to engaging in local committees, activism, or simply finding 'your place.'
Work
As a foundational pillar in cultivating life’s meaning, Work reflects how we express who we are through what we do for others. This module explores finding purpose in work by focusing on service—a universal driver of job satisfaction across cultures, professions, and backgrounds. Beyond aligning with personal values, true fulfillment comes from connecting your work to something or someone greater than yourself.
