**What if it all works out? And how would that feel?** Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/what-if-it-all-works-out-a-vision-board-experience-tickets-1979195155990?aff=oddtdtcreator This Social Circuit gathering is a different kind of vision board experience - one that starts from the inside out. Instead of creating a traditional collage focused on goals and outcomes, we’ll explore the feeling of the life you’re becoming. Through art, mixed media, colour, texture, and conversation, you’ll be invited to embody your future self and express what becoming 2026 feels like, without pressure, planning, or perfection. This is a playful, embodied creative experience designed for connection. We’ll work in small groups, share stories, meet new people, and create a safe, open, and honest space to explore dreams, hopes, and even the quiet barriers that sometimes stand in the way of them. No artistic experience is needed. All art supplies are provided. Just bring an open mind, a brave heart, and a willingness to get a little messy. ✨ Think: art + conversation + connection ✨ No rigid goals, it's not an interview! ✨ Just messy dreams, honest expression, and becoming together 📍 Motto Motto Café - 300 Campbell Ave UNIT 101, Toronto, ON M6P 3V6 ☕ Drinks and food available for purchase at the café Come as you are. Leave a little more connected, to yourself and to others. Agenda: 6:00pm: Doors Open 6:00 - 6:30pm: Say hello to others and mingle 6:30 - 8:00pm: Conversation and creative experience 8:00 - 8:30pm: Let's make new friends, stay and chat! Accessibility: The venue is directly accessible from the sidewalk and is wheelchair accessible. If you have any accessibility needs or questions, please reach out to us in advance, we’re happy to support where we can. Parking: Paid parking available along Campbell Avenue. Community & Care This is an inclusive, welcoming event. We aim to create a space where people of all genders, sexual orientations, identities, and lived experiences feel respected, seen, and safe. This is not a workshop led by “experts.” We’re exploring, creating, and becoming together. This gathering includes small-group conversation and shared creative exploration. You’re always invited to participate at your own comfort level. You never have to share anything you don’t want to. Listening is just as valued as speaking. Our intention is to create a brave, kind, and supportive environment where curiosity, care, and mutual respect guide how we build community. We ask all attendees to be mindful of their own boundaries and to honor the boundaries of others. If the cost of this event is a barrier for your attendance, please contact us at socialcircuitca@gmail.com - we strive to make our events accessible and are happy to explore options together.
