IKIGAI x CARES™ Global Series #1 is a live Japan–UK metaverse conversation exploring human clarity for business decisions in the age of AI.

AI is moving fast. It can help us produce, analyse and create more quickly than ever before. But it cannot remove the human responsibility to decide what is meaningful, aligned and worth building.

This event brings together two complementary perspectives: authentic Japanese Ikigai and Hara, and the CARES™ Formula for human clarity and business decision-making.

Together, Kouji Miki from Japan and Magdalena Mrukwa from the UK will explore how meaning, clarity and aligned action can help entrepreneurs and leaders navigate the AI era.

This is a real conversation, not a polished webinar. Bring your questions, your skepticism and your curiosity.

Who this event is for

This event is for English-speaking entrepreneurs, founders, executives, consultants and professionals who are navigating AI-era change and want a deeper, more practical approach to meaning, clarity and decision-making.

– Founders who want more clarity before building, scaling or changing direction.
– Leaders and professionals experiencing decision fatigue, pressure or information overload.

Important positioning

This is not a spiritual performance. It is a practical conversation about human clarity.

Not this:
– Spiritual awakening
– Find your true self
– Healing from the East
– Mindfulness retreat online

But this:
– A practical decision framework
– Sharpen your judgment
– A source-informed Japanese lens
– A working conversation between two practitioners
