Event Type 2: Social Gathering

Doesn’t matter if you’ve never made a Vision Board before or if you’re old pro. It’s all about visualizing your perfect life & making your dreams come true. Make 2026 the best year of your life so far.

Vision Boards can be made any way you’d like! There are no rules for picturing joy and happiness in your life.

We’ll talk about goals, manifesting, and making our world all that we would have it be. . . . . . then get to work on our creating the vision boards to make it all come to life.

We’ll provide poster board, glue, scissors and supplies – but feel free to bring anything else you’d like – your own magazines, construction paper, or stickers. Or bring your laptop/tablet and create your board digitally!
