Philosophy
Each one of us has our own sources of fulfillment in life. Wellbeing comes in many forms and practices. Every human being has a gift to contribute and the potential to live a life of purpose and meaning. In order to be able to contribute those gifts and tap into a deeper sense of purpose, we need to restore ourselves, after our experiences within broken systems, and regenerate our wholeness. Anova Wellness is a space in which, at any time, you can restore, rejuvenate and begin anew.
Our Values
Origin Story
Each of us has a creative spark within us. As co-creators of leadership and personal growth programs, we have prompted an inner sense of empowerment igniting each program participant to reach their fullest potential. Towards the end of each program, we've shared a methodology to tap into a sense of purpose, built on the Japanese concept of Ikigai, “a reason for being.” Ikigai is a blend of: what you love, what you’re good at, what you can be paid for and what the world needs. We’ve found that when you hit that sweet spot, it’s a win-win for you and for the world. After ten years of running internal empowerment programs, we found that while many participants were able to find some way to live out the concept of Ikigai, many need a next step: a community in which each of our gifts and contributions are valued at a level in which we can live well. We see this as a major element of wellbeing: making a living based on what you’re good at, what you love and what the world needs. Anova Wellness is built on this concept - for all of us and by all of us. Together, we co-create a community marketplace where we can find rejuvenation, restore from a world in which we may not always feel valid and valued and lift each other up with meaning and purpose.
