Ikigai retreat - April 26th to May 2nd - 2025
Exhausted? No idea how to proceed? During this ikigai retreat from Saturday April 26 th to Friday May the 2nd 2025, we will search for your IKIGAI, your ‘raison d’être’, step by step!
What can you expect? Theory about Ikigai, but even more practical exercises to find your talents and passions. But also: silent walks, creative sessions, mindfulness, discussion groups and much more.
Practical:
- maximum 11 participants
- €1290 (including accommodation, three delicious vegan meals per day, workshops, professional guidance). For a supplement of €350 you get a private double room.
- not included: your travel to Spain and transport on site (we recommend flying to Malaga and renting your own car)
- guidance by: Nele Melkebeke
You will stay in Puerto Mika, a safe off-grid paradise in the south of Spain (10 minutes drive from Orgiva, Granada), home to experienced coach Nele.
Puerto Mika consists of three different apartments with shared accommodation for a maximum of four people.

As yet this retreat is the highlight of the search for my ‘ikigai’.
During my work as a career coach, I delved into the concept of Ikigai. After all, many people could not tell me what they like to do and/or what they are good at.
However, finding your ikigai is a must if you want to feel like you are not really ‘working’, in order to enjoy your career. That is why I want to share my enthusiasm and practical exercises with you.
I want to support you in your search for your passion, your talent and the way to make it your job. My new home in Granada is the ideal place to bring together fellow sufferers in an inspiring environment.
