UPCOMING EVENTS

2022 (VIRTUAL) VISION BOARD PARTY
Wednesday, January 26, 2022 @7-9pm CST

RSVP by Clicking Here
Free event open to all ADPi alumnae

Join your sisters for a night of intention-setting, manifestation meditation, journaling, and vision boarding to set the tone for 2022!
**Note: This is a virtual only event**

While we wish we could get together in person again, we're so excited to kick 2022 off with a fun virtual vision boarding event.
Join us as we set some time aside for ourselves, reconnect with sisters, and create a vision of what the year ahead will be.

The evening will flow as follows:

7:00pm | Manifestation Meditation & Gentle Yoga
Sister Milynn Mapalo will lead us through some gentle yoga nidra (yoga sleep) and a manifestation mediation so we can begin to dream up what we envision 2022 to look like for ourselves. Bring a yoga mat and/or a blanket to lie on, an additional blanket(s) to keep warm during yoga nidra, and an open mind to let yourself see the year ahead! Bolsters or pillows may lend themselves useful if you'd like some extra support.

7:30pm | Wheel of Life Guided Journaling
Sister Jaclyn Garland will guide the group through a journaling activity using The Wheel of Life as a structure to help us put our thoughts to paper. As we lead up to the event, here are a few categories you can begin to consider:
1.) Career / Business
2.) Family / Friends / Community
3.) Finances
4.) Romance / Intimacy
5.) Health / Self-Care
6.) Social / Fun
7.) Personal / Spiritual Development
8.) Physical Environment / Home / Office

8:00pm | Vision Boarding Activity
We will be bringing to life what we've dreamt up during meditation and what we've written down during journaling so that each of us can see for ourselves what 2022 will look like when it's complete. Although the event is virtual, you have the option to create a poster board for yourself in person using pictures, magazines, drawings, or other mediums you choose. Come prepared with a blank poster board of any size, scissors, magazines, markers, a glue stick, and anything else you'd like! If you'd prefer to create a digital vision board, you can create a desktop or phone background using a free Canva account online. Prepare some digital photos, online images that you can rightfully borrow, and set up your Canva account ahead of the event.

8:45pm | Sharing with Sisters
We invite you to share your board (and perhaps step out of your comfort zone) with your sisters! We will use breakout rooms based on group size, and we encourage you to present your digital and poster boards to give them life! Saying your dreams out loud with others helps to turn thoughts into reality. If you'd rather not share, hearing others' ideas can be inspiring and provide support for them to stay accountable to themselves.

***Feel free to join us for any portion of this event that calls to you, although we hope you will be able to stay for it all. If possible, try to hop on to the zoom at the start time of each section if you will not be able to join for its entirety.
