Your Host

Your journey will be guided by Nicholas Kemp who is a keynote speaker, author, and founder of Ikigai Tribe, a community dedicated to the authentic understanding of ikigai. My journey with Japan began as a child, and after living there for a decade, I developed a deep appreciation for its culture and philosophy. With a Diploma of Positive Psychology, I combine research and experience to teach the true essence of ikigai. My book, IKIGAI-KAN: Feel a Life Worth Living, challenges misconceptions and shares the wisdom of this profound Japanese concept.
