Hands-On Vision Boarding: Crafting Dreams into Reality

In the heart of the summit, creativity took center stage with a hands-on vision boarding session. Women delved into the process of crafting visual representations of their aspirations, dreams, and goals. There was so much excitement across all the women as magazines were flipped, scissors snipped, and visions came to life on poster boards. The exercise was more than just an arts and crafts activity; it was a powerful tool for manifesting dreams and solidifying intentions. It is an amazing art that we all have inside us.

Her self-defense class wasn’t just about physical empowerment; it was a metaphor for the strength women carry, waiting to be unleashed.
