Dream, Focus, Create | Vision Boards with Jennifer Shinkai
Special Event for FEW Members
This is your chance to pause, step away from daily busyness, and intentionally craft what you want to welcome into 2026. Join us for a relaxed, creative in-person session to reflect, reset, and design a clear visual focus for the year ahead.
Create Your 2026 Vision Board
Vision boarding transforms ideas and intentions into something tangible you can see every day. By combining images, words, and symbols that represent what you want to feel, do, or achieve, you create a visual reminder that focuses your energy and inspires meaningful action.
As the leaves begin to turn and the season invites reflection, we're coming together in a welcoming space to nurture meaningful conversations and genuine connections.
This venue provides the perfect backdrop for us to share stories, exchange insights, and support one another's journeys — at any career or life stage.
Whether you're seeking mentorship, looking to expand your professional circle, or simply craving a bit more community, we invite you to join us for this special afternoon.
See you there!
What to Expect
- A short, guided introduction to vision boarding and how it supports clarity and focus
- Time to cut, arrange, and create your personal vision board
- Gentle reflection prompts to help you access what truly matters
- A friendly, supportive, no-pressure environment—this is about self-discovery, not artistic skill
Why Vision Boarding Works:
- Clarifies what really matters and cuts through mental noise
- Keeps your goals front-of-mind through daily visual reminders
- Engages your creative, intuitive side—making future planning feel energizing instead of overwhelming
What This Session Is NOT:
- Not a drawing or craft class
- Not about making a "perfect" or Instagram-worthy board
- Not prescriptive—your board is unique to you
What to Bring:
Jennifer will provide magazines, glue, and scissors. If you have any of the following, please bring them along (optional but appreciated):
- Personal images, quotes, or printouts you'd like to use
- A cardboard base (the inside of an Amazon box works perfectly!)
- Your own scissors (helpful with a group)
