Whether your dreams and goals for 2020 are personal or professional—or both!— vision boards are a proven way of making them happen! Our subconscious mind works in pictures, so having a clear image of what you desire—and seeing it over and over again, every day—works to increase your focus and generate feelings of desire and success.

Benefits of creating a vision board include:
1 | Creative Play! Making something by hand is an excellent way to unwind, and connect with self. Plus, it’s FUN! Pulling together your wish list for the year ahead feels like going though the Sear’s Christmas Wish Book when you were a child… Remember that feeling? So much anticipation and joy. Let’s recreate that for your 2020 vision board!

2 | Motivation! Just like having a goal weight tacked on your fridge door to keep you focussed on your diet and exercise routine, having a vision board keeps you aligned with your priorities. Seeing that beach resort vacation photo, or that “Just Do It!” word clipping, will keep you enthusiastic as you move through your day.

3 | Inspiration! Pulling together gorgeous photos, catchy words and colourful embellishments creates an opportunity for you to think big about your dreams. Go ahead, extend that vacation goal from Florida to Bali! Step out of your own way, and go for it!

In the first half of this full-day workshop, we will work through a creative thinking + writing exercise to determine what your personal and professional goals are. After lunch, we will use magazines, catalogues, art boards, tape, glue, glitter, markers, stickers, embellishments and passion to create a spectacular 2020 vision board to beautifully represent your goals and dreams for the year ahead.

As adults, we all could use more moments of creative play in our lives—ideally daily, at least weekly. Moments to step out of our heads and into our Spirits—to connect with our inner child, our inner artist, and simply… PLAY. Join me every Wednesday evening for five weeks to do just that. Our evenings will start with a quick guided meditation to decompress from the day and invite inspiration. Simple mixed-media techniques will be demonstrated each week as I guide you to create an inspiring 18x18" birch panel canvas.

Learn how to choose + mix your colour palette, make those first, often intimidating brush strokes, discover how to invite and allow the flow of creativity without judging the outcome. We will explore mark-making using studio tools, our fingers, household objects, varying colour palettes, and collage. Acrylic paints, gels, inks, pastels, iridescents, pens + other media will be used.
