Set Your Aspirations for 2026 Using Creative Collage

What do you want to make this year?

Invigorate your creativity with a collage, setting your intentions for 2026. In this specialized small group we will use collage to map our ideas and hopes for what we dare to create. Tap into your curiosity and make plans to develop hand-made creations.

We will provide supplies, and you are also welcome to bring photos or quotes for 2026 that relate to your aspirations. Your collage can focus on areas such as creativity, friendships, relationships, personal growth, health, career, and much more.

The end product will be a visual aid, inspiring you as you stretch towards your personal dreams and goals for the coming year.
