A Living Space for Voice & Sound Practices, Creativity & Intellectual Exploration.
The Practice
Modern life has become increasingly overstimulated: work, tech, the "all for now" social expectations and "noise" in superficial interactions. Population move through constant daily demands often without accepting or experiencing silence, reflection, or stillness - important for the brain activity and emotional regulation.
Ikigai Studio Art facilitates a space and practices using voice, movement and sound techniques that overtime have the potential to reduce stress and promote body and mental awareness.
At Ikigai Studio Art, we believe that when people reconnect with themselves and are comfortable around stillness, they gain the clarity to understand what truly resonates with them.
The Methodology
Eliane designs sessions that have the potential to help participants regulate their nervous system, stimulate the production of neurochemicals and access a relaxed state. In this space of ease and presence, it becomes possible to reconnect with the body, quiet the mind, and develop a deeper awareness of oneself and the surrounding environment.
A central aspect of her approach is active participation: she involves the participant in his/her own process of exploration or reflection. Eliane merges voice and sound, neurology, movement, Japanese and creative techniques in her sessions.
The exercises can be passive (where you are not actively participating) or active (you experience movement and produce voice toning).
Don't worry. It is not a singing session. The most important is that you can be yourself.
Depending on the intention of the session, Eliane may incorporate percussion instruments and collective exercises that encourage connection and group cohesion. These shared experiences often create a sense of belonging, helping participants deepen their connection with themselves and with others.
The Practices
the Session
As part of the practice, a central aspect of Ikigai approach is active participation: you are involved in your own process of exploration and discoveries.
Depending on the intention of the session, percussion instruments may be incorporated, and/ or collective exercises that encourage connection, creativity, and group cohesion. These shared experiences often create a sense of belonging, helping participants deepen their connection with themselves and with others.
The sessions are open to those who are curious to try, as well as to those who wish to make this practice a regular part of their lives. For participants who want to explore the deeper potential of voice therapy in unlocking their personal challenges, a long-term practice may be suggested depending on individual needs. But above all, you are always welcome to choose what feels right for you.

Creativity
Where Creativity Finds Its Voice
Ikigai Studio Art creates workshops to explore creativity — guided spaces where voice, breath, movement, improvisation and deep listening become tools for self-expression. These sessions are not about learning to perform: they are about recovering the spontaneous, playful creativity that everyday life tends to quiet.
Here, creativity is a state to enter, not a talent to earn — and the body remembers it before the mind does. Participants leave with clearer access to spontaneity, self-expression and the confidence to create in everyday life.
Intellectual Exploration
The Book Party
Ikigai Studio Art organizes Book Parties — intimate gatherings where reading, ideas and conversation come together. Around a chosen book or theme, participants share reflections, question assumptions and explore new ways of thinking in the company of curious minds.
More than a book club, a Book Party is a salon for the intellect: an evening of exchange that feeds thinking as deeply as the studio's practices feed the body.
