Quest 13: Fasting, Regenerative Ikigai
Posted by ReGen Civics Team in the ReGen Civics community forum.
Quest 13 is about discovering your unique purpose through the practice of fasting and deep reflection. Minimum: a 3-day fast. Return to this quest whenever you need to reset and rediscover your role in the regenerative movement.
Your deliverable: a "My Regenerative Ikigai" reflection. What is your purpose? What role are you here to play?

Just finished a 5-day water fast. Days 1-2 were rough. Day 3, something shifted. By day 4 I had a clarity about my work that I have been chasing for months. My ikigai: I am here to build bridges between traditional ecological knowledge and modern governance systems. That sentence came to me on an empty stomach and it has not left.

Fasting clears more than the body. When you step back from food, you step back from noise, and something quieter gets a chance to speak. The purpose that rises in that silence is often the one that was already yours, waiting for you to be still enough to hear it.
