IKIGLOO is a name born from two worlds:

Ikigai, the Japanese philosophy of a life fueled by purpose, passion, and meaning, and Igloo, the resilient, hand-crafted haven built from nature itself - offering warmth, shelter, and strength against the elements. Together, they form a powerful metaphor: A life lived with intention and a soul fortified by self-belief.

IKIGLOO is your inner sanctuary and outer compass - a reminder that you can build a life that feels both expansive and grounded, creative and courageous, mythical and deeply real. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about alignment.

This is your place to remember who you are—and create from there.

OUR VISION

We’re not selling dreams. We’re here to give you tools and say: create your own path.

Most people sleepwalk through a life they didn’t choose. Drowning in “shoulds,” stuck in systems, starving for meaning. But not you... That's why you're here. You feel the pull to live louder, deeper, and realer.

We imagine a world where that pull isn’t ignored. Where self-actualisation isn’t some luxury reserved for the top few, but can be achieved by everyone.

We’re not trying to fix the world because we know we can't. But we can create tools to help people like you design their lives like art and lead their lives intentionally, relentlessly, and authentically.

OUR MISSION

We’re here to help you break the chains. To burn the blueprint you never asked for and build something that actually feels like you. Not what’s “safe" but what’s true.

We use design thinking principles as our weapon - simple tools with powerful clarity - to help you rediscover who you truly are and create a life that hits different. One that’s worth waking up for. One that's truly yours.

A meaningful and fulfilling life is made up of simple, little pleasures that make our hearts skip a beat - like the sheer joy of running barefoot on a sandy beach or dipping our feet in a lake on a warm summer evening. It’s those early mornings in spring when the sun greets us with a smile and the serene winter evenings when the world falls silent. And let’s not forget about strolling through quiet forests, discovering the wonders of nature, smelling the earthy scent after a heavy rain, tasting freshly picked berries from our grandparents’ garden, and those cosy bonfire nights with our closest friends.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

But beyond all these little pleasures, life is about setting big and small quests for ourselves and chasing them with everything we’ve got. It’s about losing track of time when we’re doing things we truly love and facing our fears head-on, such as climbing mountains when we’re afraid of heights or diving into deep waters without knowing how to swim. Most importantly, life is about acquiring the freedom to live on our terms – by staying true to ourselves, seeking continuous growth, and creating an exciting vision for our future that enables us to build a life that's truly ours.

OUR MANIFESTO

Find what sets your soul on fire and do it often.

If it scares you or seems out of reach, try anyway. Especially then.

Be kind. To people, animals, trees, and to yourself.

If someone stands in your way, take a detour. Or build a new road.

Don’t shrink. Don’t settle. Don’t cap your own magic.

Do more than what’s expected. Then do a little more for yourself.

Show up for what matters.

Guard your peace. Feed your mind. Honour your body.

Learn to love your own company - there’s power in solitude.

Reinvent yourself like it’s your birthright. Because it is.

Don’t let anyone else write your story. Create your own.

If a space drains you - walk away.

Stay raw. Stay true. Stay you - even when it’s hard.

Keep growing toward the boldest, most honest version of yourself.

Read books, explore the world, and try new things to open your mind.

And if no one’s blazed the trail you need - light your own damn torch and carve it yourself.
