I’m Ulrika Torquato.

I created Joyering®, a way of seeing what is already present in our lives, and discovering, sometimes with surprise, what truly matters to us.

My work comes from a life spent moving around continents and cultures, and through many worlds: medicine, opera, visual art, and awareness practices.

All those changes were not always easy.
Like many people, I spent years searching for something that would finally make everything fall into place.

It was only when I began to truly pay attention that I noticed: the small moments of joy and beauty already happening around me every day were clues.

Clues to what I actually wanted in my life.

That's where Joyering began.

What brings us joy is telling us something.

About what we truly want in our lives.

And it may not be what we thought.

Joyering is giving our attention to what brings us joy.

Not adding more.
Not fixing anything.

Just noticing what is already there.

What Joyering means

How Joyering begins

I created the Joyering app as one way to experience this.

When something joyful happens, a conversation, a walk, a good coffee, a piece of music, we simply tap the category that fits.

A butterfly appears. That moment becomes part of our collection.

When we reach 21 butterflies, we release them.

And begin again.

If you want to go further

Seeing differently is the beginning. What we do from there matters.

The butterflies we collect are telling us something. About what we love. About what truly matters to us.

When we begin to understand what they are saying, clarity becomes possible. Decisions come from a different place.

If you’d like to explore this together, you’re welcome to take a next step.

I speak about what happens when we learn to see our lives differently, and why it matters to begin now, not later.

Why we often overlook the joy that is already in our lives.
How small moments show us what truly matters to us.
And what collecting and releasing the butterflies can teach us about holding on.
