Vision Quest: Vision Board & Journaling Night

Residents will gather in the house lounge for a calm, cozy evening of journaling and vision board making. The night starts with a short grounding moment and a few guided journaling prompts about what residents want more of in their lives, like rest, movement, friendships, and balance. Residents then turn those reflections into a vision board using magazine cutouts, markers, and stickers, with tea and snacks on hand. Creating side by side gives residents a screen-free way to slow down, check in with themselves, and connect with neighbors. They leave with a personal vision board, a few journaling habits to keep using, and a positive association with Riepe wellness programming.
