Vision Board Workshop

It Works!

“In just a few years, everything on my vision board came true—except for one thing.”

A vision board is a powerful, creative tool—a collage of images, quotes, and affirmations—designed to visually represent your goals, dreams, and desired feelings, helping to manifest them by keeping your aspirations top-of-mind. By placing it in a prominent, daily-view spot like your bedroom, home office, or digital desktop, you maintain focus and motivation to actively pursue your life’s vision.

You will create and go home with your own personal vision board.

What to expect

• A guided, hands-on workshop where you’ll design a visual roadmap for your goals, dreams, and intentions.

• Supplies provided: poster board, magazines, scissors, glue, markers, etc.

• Short guided exercises to clarify values and set intentions before you begin arranging images and words.

• One-on-one assistance from our facilitator to help with layout, color choices, and meaningful wording.

Who it’s for

• Anyone who wants a creative, tangible way to focus on personal or professional goals.

• Beginners and experienced vision-board creators — no artistic skill required.

• Perfect for people seeking motivation, clarity, or a fresh start.

What to bring

• Optional: a few personal photos or small mementos (flat or easily attached).

• A list of goals or keywords you’re thinking about (career, relationships, health, travel, hobbies, finances, mindset).

• Open mind and willingness to play.

Workshop length

• 90 minutes to 2 hours: brief intro and exercises, main creation time, finishing touches, and wrap-up.

Takeaway

• A completed, ready-to-display vision board to take home.

• A short written affirmation or intention to revisit regularly.

• Practical tips for using your vision board daily to stay motivated and aligned.

Reserve your spot

• Limited space to keep the experience personal and hands-on.

We are organized as a 501c3 non-profit and manged by a Market Advisory Board. We have expanded to accept vendors from all surounded counties, plus three more counties.
