As the days get colder and the days are darker, a different kind of light needs to shine through. This time of year finds me doing a lot more reflecting: writing, art journaling, and inner visioning. It’s a process that I engage in every year to set a tone for the  year ahead.

In previous years I have made my vision board in relative isolation. But this year I decided to shift things a little as I have seen the tremendous power of creating in groups during the workshops I offer. Last years vision board had elements of spending more time with friends and in community.

Before the holidays I had  a group of dear friends over for a Vision Board Party. I have always created my Vision Boards on my own, which meant they did not get done as timely as I would have wished. Though I know everyone’s’ process is different, I realized how important it was for me to make my vision board within a sacred space with like-minded souls. The silent, creative and reflective energy that was present encouraged more of the same from me. My process slowed down, I did not pick as many images as I normally do and I found the ones I chose to be even more symbolic of my intentions for the year than previous years.

It was wonderful to share the experience this way, and part of why I hold vision board workshops so that others can have a similar supportive practice. Every vision board was different, unique to the individual who created it. Once more, I was left with an appreciation for the focus, support and inspiration that happens when creating in community with others.  I am reminded of my previous year’s vision board where celebrating with others was something I wanted to bring more of into my life.

Though I tend to do my vision boards at the end or beginning of the year, Visioning is a process that can be done anytime of the year to bring more alignment with and clarity of what you want in your life.
