be your true self: awaken your Ikigai
Ikigai (ee-key-guy) is a Japanese word whose meaning translates essentially, to a 'reason for being,'
encompassing joy, a sense of purpose and meaning and a feeling of
well-being.
​

When we awaken our true self, we bring meaning and richness to our lives.

"Michele & Dean are incredible people, resources, and a true inspiration. They've given me tools to help me to live my best life -- individually and in my relationships." - Shannon Graham

​Many of us have lost connection with ourselves and our world which leads to a deep sense of longing and fear of missing out.
​In order to thrive we must reconnect with ourselves and one another. 

Creative expression is the essence of life.
When we bring ourselves fully to life, we get to enjoy a sense of aliveness that awakens connection between us and our world.
Our Personal Philosophy
We envision a world where people awaken their true aliveness through engaging ikigai, appreciating nature, eating consciously and being active so that we may all thrive on our shared planet.

engaging ikigai 
Creative expression is essential for an engaged life. Opening space to experience activities that we love, and nurturing our relationship with others and our world, supports an engaged and thriving life. At its essence, engaging Ikigai is about having a deeper experience of our humanity @micheleanddeanllc #engagingikigai

being active
Keeping our energy circulating requires attention to breathing and moving throughout our days.  In order to fully enjoy our day-to-day lives, we need to breathe correctly and move naturally.  ​@micheleanddeanllc #beingactive
appreciating nature
​Spending time in nature helps keep us grounded in our humanity as well as connected to caring for our earth.  We love taking one-green-step at a time to care for our planet so that we may all thrive.  #onegreenstep @micheleanddeanllc

eating consciously
​In the places where people live the longest and healthiest, they eat mostly plant-based foods and practice eating until only 80% full. Eating consciously supports our whole body vitality. We connect more deeply with eating when we prepare nourishing meals with foods that are closest to their natural state. @micheleanddeanllc #eatingconsciously
