Monday Job Seekers Connection: Envisioning the Future Using Collage

Date: 

Monday, June 21, 2021, 11:00am to 12:30pm

Location: 

Online via Zoom

It's the first day of summer—a great time to pause and envision our future in a creative and positive way. For this event, you'll be visualizing your professional goals and creating a vision board.

A vision board is a personalized collage of symbolic images, text, and other various materials that represent what you envision for the upcoming year, now that many obstacles due to the pandemic are being removed. It's a creative and meditative process that attracts what we want to accomplish. We would like you to develop a vision board focused on your professional goals and bring it to the Monday Job Seekers Connection to share in small groups. This will help you commit to your goals and network with others.

Start collecting materials for your collage now! We look forward to starting our summer with you in a fun and positive way.

 

About Vision Boards:
A vision board allows us to remove all the emotion surrounding negativity, and instead place our attention on actions that will enable us to achieve personal and professional success. It requires you to want something, perceive it, and believe in it. Over time, the process and energy you put into visualizing the future will begin to shift your life in a positive direction.

To learn more about the value of vision boards and how to make them, watch this video by Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul.

If you are interested in collage art, you may also enjoy this fascinating video from the Office for the Arts at Harvard about Romare Bearden (1911-1988), who was a key figure in American art.
