Vision board workshop

 

CREATE A VISION BOARD FOR THE YEAR AHEAD!

The first time I heard mention of vision boards, I rolled my eyes. I was not only highly skeptical, I was judging something before I even gave it a try.

I had convinced myself that it’d never work. The life I was drawn to was not what was rendered in magazines. I made excuses and avoided even thinking about considering it despite the fact that I saw people who I looked up to singing their praises.

Then one year, my Mastermind group decided to make vision boards together as a group activity. I agreed, albeit reluctantly Since that fateful day, I’ve never turned back. I’m a vision board convert.

I saw how the stories I had in my head weren’t supporting me. I was able to get creative and creative something I was excited about, and proud of. Now I look forward to creating one every year! This workshop is designed to get you thinking about vision boards differently too!

Not only can I make sense of my vision boards by the end of the year, but they also provide another tool and anchor to ground me throughout the ups and downs of a year.

In this 2-hour workshop we’ll:

  • Walk you through my process

  • Share tips as you work on your vision board in real time

  • Share my past vision boards + favorite stories and considerations as you put yours together

  • Talk about the importance of intuition in vision board creation

  • Provide quiet focused time as you work on yours

  • Answer any questions you have about vision boards

Materials

(this is a BYO – bring your own — materials workshop):

  • Magazines you can cut up (ask friends and neighbors for their old magazines!).

  • Scissors

  • Gluestick (tape works too, but a gluestick is easiest)

  • Large poster board or paper (you can tape multiple sheets together if need be)

  • Tape (to hang your board on the wall; I use washi tape) or pinboard where you can make your board visible

Note: Typically 5-7 magazines of different varieties (the perk of vision boarding with friends or asking others for their old magazines) is plenty. If you have more magazines it may take more time to create your vision board.

Vision boards can be created digitally with tools like Canva or Powerpoint, but this workshop will be focused on creating a tangible/physical board. There is something about the act of physically touching that is powerful, magical, and leads to the unexpected.



The rough breakdown:

  • 1-hour story sharing (and magazine cutting)

  • 30 min laying out your vision board

  • 20 min gluing your vision board

  • 10 min wrap up + final thoughts

You’re invited and encouraged to flip through your magazines while I present the workshop. I’ve you’d like to pre-tear some pages and cut out words and images that resonate with you before the workshop you are welcome to so you have more time to assemble your vision board during the workshop time.

Note: This workshop was recorded live with participants. Access to this workshop will give you access to both the 2023 and 2024 replays as well as resources and the playlist.
