Led by Lisa from **Day/Shift Creative**, you’ll make a **vision board** — a collage of images and words that represent things you want in your life. We will provide **everything** you need: Magazines to look through Boards to build your collage Scissors, glue, and supplies You can go at your own pace. There is no right or wrong way to do this. You do not need to be “artistic.” The space is semi-private with long shared tables. There will be background noise and people around, so this may not be a good fit if you prefer a quiet, non-crowded environment. Must sign-up on[ ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/neurodivergent-friendly-vision-board-meetup-tickets-198736953979)[Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/neurodivergent-friendly-vision-board-meetup-tickets-1987369539792). Tickets are free for [Constellations](https://www.harringtonmatchmaking.com/constellations-membership) members.

Come the whole time or if you just spend 30 minutes. All are welcome. You are welcome and encouraged to bring your own coloring supplies but, if you don't have any, I will have plenty and am happy to share! (coloring books, colored pencils, and markers). Part of the mission of this group is to provide us an opportunity to check out AND SUPPORT local businesses. So, please don't bring any outside food/drinks and, while purchasing something isn't at all a REQUIREMENT to participate in the event, I do strongly encourage you to try something from the vendor :) I look forward to seeing and meeting you there! ***\*\*DISCLAIMER*\*\*** Photos may be taken during the event to be shared here on Meetup so feel free to let me know if you'd like to be excluded from them.
