Love It, Do It, Get Paid! Ikigai Workshop for Women

What if something you love doing could become something people will pay for?
You might have skills, knowledge or experiences that others would love to learn from. Maybe you've thought about teaching, hosting a workshop, starting a small business or simply earning extra income doing something you enjoy.

But where do you begin?
Join us for a fun, interactive Ikigai Workshop for Women, where we'll explore how to recognise your strengths, discover what you have to offer and consider ways to turn your skills into paid opportunities.
You don't need a business plan or previous experience. Just bring your curiosity and an open mind!

What Is Ikigai?
Ikigai is a Japanese concept associated with finding meaning, enjoyment and a sense of purpose in everyday life.
During this workshop, we'll use a popular Ikigai-inspired activity to explore four questions:

• What do you love doing?
• What are you good at?
• What could others benefit from?
• What might people be willing to pay for?

These questions can help you reflect on your strengths and explore opportunities you may not have considered before.

What Will You Discover?
During this interactive workshop, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Recognise Your Value: Discover skills, knowledge and experiences that could be useful to others.
• Explore Ways to Get Paid: Consider how you might earn money by sharing what you know or enjoy doing.
• Think Beyond Working for Free: Explore when charging for your time, skills, or knowledge could make sense.
• Explore Paid Workshops & Events: Discover how sharing your knowledge through classes, workshops, or community events could become an opportunity to earn income.
• Connect With Other Women: Exchange ideas, share experiences, and meet women exploring new opportunities.
• Take Your First Step: Leave with one idea you'd like to explore further.

Who Is This Workshop For?
This workshop could be for you if you:

• Have skills or knowledge you'd like to share with others.
• Enjoy helping people but haven't considered charging for your time.
• Are curious about hosting your own workshop, class or community event.
• Want to explore earning extra income doing something you enjoy.
• Have thought about starting a small business or offering a service.
• Enjoy meeting women, exchanging ideas and learning something new.

No business experience is needed. Whether you're just curious or already exploring an idea, you're welcome to join us!

What to Expect
This isn't a formal business seminar. It's a relaxed, friendly and interactive workshop where we'll explore ideas together.
We'll have:

• Friendly introductions and opportunities to meet other women.
• A simple introduction to Ikigai.
• Guided activities to help you explore your interests and strengths.
• Conversations about the value of your skills and ways to charge for what you offer.
• Time to share ideas, ask questions and learn from one another.

You can participate at your own comfort level. There's no pressure to share anything personal or commit to starting a business.

Workshop Fee: $10

What to Bring:

• A notebook and pen.
• An open mind and willingness to explore new ideas.
• A skill or interest you'd like to explore (optional).

Why Join Us?
You might already have something valuable to offer — you just haven't thought about charging for it yet.
Sometimes the things we do naturally are exactly what others would appreciate learning.
Imagine sharing something you enjoy, meeting new people and exploring ways to earn money from your knowledge or skills.
You don't need to have all the answers.
This workshop is an opportunity to start exploring, exchange ideas and see what you could do next.
