Private Couple Life Ikigai Retreat in Kamakura

A Personalized 2-Night Journey of Self-Discovery, Connection & Japanese Culture

Step away from everyday life and spend two meaningful nights in Kamakura, reconnecting with yourselves, each other, and the future you want to create together.

This is a completely private and personalized Couples Life Ikigai Retreat. The experience is adapted around your interests, your pace, and what you most want to explore as a couple.

Through guided reflection, Soul Writing, nature, Japanese culture, and personalized coaching, you will explore where you have come from, what truly matters to you, what brings you alive, and how your individual journeys can come together to create a meaningful life as a couple.

What you will experience:

• Two nights in a private space near the beach, with time and space to relax together
• Guided walks through Kamakura, temples, Zen philosophy, and samurai history
• Soul Writing sessions to reflect on your past, present, and future
• A private 1.5-hour coaching session for each of you
• A 2-hour Couples Life Ikigai coaching session
• Japanese onsen with ocean views
• A private Japanese cooking class where you learn, cook, and enjoy a Japanese meal together
• A free third day to explore Kamakura at your own pace

What you will take home

This retreat is designed to give you something that continues beyond your time in Japan.

You will leave with:

• A deeper understanding of yourselves and what has shaped you
• A clearer sense of your personal values, strengths, and passions
• A better understanding of what brings you both joy and fulfillment
• A clearer picture of the kind of everyday life you want to create
• A shared understanding of your values and direction as a couple
• Ideas for aligning your relationship, work, lifestyle, and contribution.
• Practical next steps you can take when you return home
• A meaningful shared experience to carry into your new marriage

The goal is not to give you a single answer about your life purpose. It is to create the space for you to discover your own answers and leave with greater clarity about the life you want to build together.
