IKIGLOO is a name born from two worlds:

Ikigai, the Japanese concept about finding what makes life feel worth living. Or in other words, the thing that gets you out of bed. And Igloo - shelter you build with your own hands, that keeps you warm when everything outside is freezing.

Put together, we get something quite beautiful - the idea that you can build a life that actually means something to you, brick by brick, with what you've got. It's about your inner world meeting your outer work. The part of you that knows and the part that builds. The vision and the hands. The dream and the doing.

IKIGLOO thus is not about creating a perfect life that you'd want to showcase in your highlight reel, but about knowing who you are and what matters so you could build the world around you that just feels right. Both expansive and grounded, creative and courageous, mythical and deeply real.

We're here to help you remember who you are so you can start creating everything from there.

Our Vision

Most people are sleepwalking through a life they didn't actually choose. Buried under various "shoulds", stuck in someone else's systems, quietly starving for something real and meaningful.

Our vision is thus a world where a sense of fulfilment and self-actualisation is not some kind of privilege for a select few, but possible for anyone brave enough to build it.

We’re not trying to fix the world because we know we can't. Instead, we're here to do what we can - which is create and hand you the tools needed to design an intentional and authentic life, on your terms.

Our Mission

IKIGLOO exists to help you build from the inside out.

We create tools and resources to reconnect you with your deepest knowing - and offer you systems and frameworks to turn that knowing into reality. We're on a mission to bridge the gap between who you are and what you create, between inner clarity and outer impact.

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.
Be kind to people, animals, the world around you, 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.
Always show up for what matters to you.
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 or person drains you - walk away.
Always say your truth, even when it’s hard.
Keep growing toward the boldest, most honest version of yourself.
And if no one’s blazed the trail you need - carve it for yourself.
