A JAPANESE CONCEPT MEANING A SENSE OF BEING
Ikigai – The Japanese Concept Of Finding Purpose In Life
At the Flow Recovery Retreat, your recovery comes first. When you put your recovery first, anything is possible. But what is recovery without meaning? Without purpose? We believe recovery is so much more than sobriety. It is about finding your path to purpose or a sense of meaning in the world. And this is where the Japanese concept of Ikigai enters our story. Ikigai translates to “a reason for being”.
Ikigai fuses your passions and your strengths into a vocation. It’s an internal compass that guides you on the journey of life. It’s the existential fuel that drives you to wake up in the morning.
We find our ikigai at the intersection of four core questions:
- What do you love?
- What are you good at?
- What does the world need?
- What can you be paid for?
Ikigai has been posited as the secret to the astonishing longevity of the people of Okinawa. Love for what you do contributes to a long and happy life.
It corresponds with the psychological concept of flow. This is a state of deep mental absorption in an activity that channels your strengths and your passion. Flow states make a substantial contribution to overall wellbeing.
At the Flow Recovery Retreat, we believe that your recovery is essential to finding and sustaining a sense of purpose. And having that sense of purpose or meaning will vitalize your recovery.
Your entire counseling team helps identify your strengths, incorporate them into your habits and routines and then channel your energy into finding your ikigai. When you leave us, you will be embarking on a path of purpose in your personal and professional life and enthusiasm for your recovery.
This is your time to build a life worth living.
OUR METHOD
More Than Just A Sober Home
By combining key theories and techniques from performance psychology, positive psychology, and addiction counseling we have created a hybrid approach to the recovery process.
Performance psychology is the study of enhancing human performance. What is the mindset of the people who execute at the top of their game? Athletes, business leaders, coaches, parents, or even people in recovery…the people who seem to perform well under pressure and find ways to overcome challenges. We have designed a curriculum around these principles. We explore purpose and meaning, cultivate intrinsic motivation, create distraction control strategies, increase focus and attention, utilize visualization and imagery and teach the neuroscience behind creating enduring habits and routines.
The scientific study of what is right, rather than what is wrong with people. It includes research on hope, optimism, happiness, strengths, courage, wisdom and other positive aspects of human functioning and flourishing. We focus on enhancing your resilience. It acts as armor when you have temporary setbacks, or in recovery, feel the temptation to drink or use drugs again. By focusing on a strengths-based model, we build up your resilience, by developing a sense of autonomy, feelings of self-efficacy and meaningful social connections (see reference here).
Continuing your progress from primary treatment, you will work with our licensed therapist to build a strong and trusting relationship that allows you to explore your challenges with addiction and trauma and develop coping skills, healthy new beliefs, a strong self-concept, and behaviors that will carry you forwards on your new path.
YOU’RE NOT ALONE – LET’S RECOVER TOGETHER
Community, Connection and Fitness
Noted British journalist, Johann Hari, stated that, “The opposite of addiction is not sobriety, the opposite of addiction is connection.”
At Flow Recovery Retreat, we nurture connections through a combination of both mental and physical activities which help to counteract addiction relapse. We provide on-site and off-site opportunities to develop and grow connections and community.
