We are halfway through the year and this is a great way to set your intentions and goals for the remainder of 2026! This workshop prepares writers to create a meaningful, aligned vision board.

Participants will reflect on their writing goals, identify creative blocks, and define what success looks like in their unique journey. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear creative vision, a curated list of imagery and words to include on your board, and a deeper connection to your purpose as a writer.
