Vision Board Journaling Workshop

Saturday, April 26th

Welcome to our Vision Board Journaling experience!

Vision boards are a powerful, artistic way to organize your goals using words, images, and symbols that inspire and motivate you.

Join us for a quarterly guided workshop led by the amazing Juanita Johnson and myself on Saturday, April 26th, from 2 PM to 4 PM. This session is designed to help you creatively map out your intentions and stay on track toward your dreams in 2025.

Juanita will be using a variety of journaling prompts and exercises to help you gain clarity of our goals. I will then guide you in the power of visual imagery. Whether you prefer physically writing in a journal, assembling your vision on a board, or a combination of both, this workshop has you covered!

What to Bring:
A Journal:
A plain writing journal, which can also double as your Vision Board.

Your Backdrop: A poster board is a budget-friendly option and a great base for your Vision Board masterpiece.

Inspiring Graphics/Photos:
Collect images from your phone, magazines, or online that resonate with your goals and dreams. Your magazine clippings will set the tone for your entire vision—choose wisely! (Tip: Find magazines that cover every area of your life.)

Creating Tools:
Bring scissors, tape or glue sticks, pins, colorful pens or pencils, and a nice writing pen to bring your vision to life.

Quotes & Inspirational Images:
Words have power! Collect quotes that inspire you or capture the essence of your goals.

Embellishments:
Add a touch of flair to your board with stickers, fabric, charms, or anything else that feels special to you. Embellishments are like jewelry for your vision!

What You'll Gain:
A clear vision for 2025.
Hands-on guidance to align your intentions.
Techniques for journaling and staying focused on your goals.
The creative energy of a supportive group!

Cost:
$20 at the door.

RSVP:
Please RSVP to help us plan for the group. We can't wait to see you there and help you kick off 2025 with inspiration and purpose!

Let’s bring your dreams to life, one vision at a time!
