Join Blue Zones Project Jacksonville for a free Purpose Workshop designed to help you connect more deeply with yourself and others while exploring your sense of purpose.

In Okinawa, it’s called “Ikigai.” In Nicoya, it’s “plan de vida.” Both roughly translate to “why I wake up in the morning.” Knowing your sense of purpose is associated with up to seven additional years of life expectancy.

During this workshop, we’ll explore what purpose means to you and help you gain a clearer understanding of what motivates and fulfills you.

6:00–8:00 PM
Long Branch Senior Center
4110 Franklin Street
Jacksonville, FL 32206

Food will be provided. This event is free and open to the public.
