IKIGAI
(生き甲斐)

is a Japanese concept which translates into  “reason for being”.

According to this view, everyone has an ikigai. Finding it requires an intentional and sustained search.

Discover your ikigai and build an aligned, financially sustainable business around your unique gifts!

Here’s What People Are Saying:

“Rafa helped me to focus on my goals and find my inner strength and courage to become my greatest version.”

– KOFI DEBRAH, Consultant, Event Organizer, Co-Founder & Partner of Oko Forests — Accra, Ghana

“I’m now able to secure contracts with the kind of people I love working with.”

– VÉRENE NICOLAS, Organizational Consultant, Coach, and CNVC Certified Trainer — Scotland, after going through this curriculum as a private coaching client.

🌈 Why We Created This Program

Most business training programs teach strategies that feel pushy, extractive, or disconnected from empathy and care.

NVC trainers and heart-centered entrepreneurs need something different.

We want for you a path to financial sustainability that honors your nervous system, your values, and your integrity.

Nonviolent Communication deeply serves the world, and this program exists so you can create a business that reflects the world you want to help build.

🌿 Who This Workshop Is For:

✔️ CNVC Certified Trainers

✔️ Certification Candidates

✔️ NVC Practitioners building a business


✔️ Heart-centered coaches, facilitators, healers, and social-change entrepreneurs who have a service they offer (rather than a product) and who want a sustainable income


✔️ Anyone who values marketing that feels ethical and human

Not required: confidence, business experience, or a big audience.

Required: a willingness to show up for yourself and your clients.

🌱 What We Will Cover in These Two Hours:

In our time together we will give you an overview of the 10-step approach known as the Social Entrepreneurs' Road Map, for creating a high-impact, Right Livelihood.

These are the same 10 steps covered in Flourish and Flow: a year-long business-building adventure for NVC Trainers and Candidates.

You will have time to ask questions!

Registrants will receive a link to the recording within 24 hours of the call.
