10 Days Ikigai Experience aboard

Introduction

During Ikigai Experience every proposed activity is highly recommended , but never mandatory. The invitation is to step out of your comfort zone, try new experiences, and strengthen your discipline — while also listening deeply to your body and its needs.

This Ikigai experience is designed to help you explore the balance between commitment and listening , between discipline and freedom. No expectations, no performance — just the opportunity to reconnect with yourself, others, and the natural rhythm of life.

🌅 Daily Routine 🕐 Morning (approx. 1h30): Each day begins with a guided session that may include:

• Conscious breathing techniques
• Dynamic or restorative yoga flows
• Seated or moving meditation
• Rotating physical sessions (Tabata bodyweight workout or boxing basics) All sessions adapt to group energy and weather.

🌇 Evening: End the day with activities focused onintrospection, relaxation, and regeneration** , including:

• Sunset yoga
• Meditation
• Silent or circle sharing (depending on the group and location)

**🕊️ Free Time: Breaks between activities are intentionally left open — for rest, reading, swimming, silence, or spontaneous moments. There’s nothing to do but be.

🍽️ Life on Board & Food

Food is at the heart of life on Ikigai Experience. We blend what the sea provides with what we trade from the Guna community:

• Fresh lobster
• Tropical fruits
• Local vegetables

We fish when possible and prepare creative dishes: carpaccio, tartare, sashimi , and more. Sharing meals is sacred. You’re welcome to join in the preparation — in full community spirit, no obligation.

☁️ Important Note

The program may be adjusted based on:

• Weather and sea conditions
• Logistical factors
• Group dynamics

Every change aims to preserve the safety and quality of the experience.
