We often get caught up in the day to day and find ourselves focusing on the small screen, not the big picture. This limits our vision of where we are and what we need to do to get there. When looking at personal development and self-discovery, vision boards and manifestation have been used as powerful tools for clarifying goals and bringing dreams to fruition for centuries.
These practices are rooted in the belief that taking the time and aligning your thoughts, emotions, and intentions can influence the course of life and attract positive outcomes. I facilitate this workshop to empower those feeling “stuck” or need guidance to get from where they are to where they want to be. I do this by partnering with them to unlock the power within themselves and go after what they desire.
Takeaways: The participants will learn the history of vision boards and manifestations, what they are, how and why creating a vision board coupled with positive manifestations can help build your future. The participants will create their own personal vision board to take home as their blueprint to achieve their goals, including the hard stuff.
