What do you envision for 2026?

The Fall River RCC is hosting a hands‑on Vision Board Workshop during Life Skills Lab, offering a supportive space to explore what you want your 2026 to look and feel like. Whether you’re hoping to set new goals, reconnect with old dreams, or simply enjoy a creative break with others, this workshop is designed to help you imagine possibilities and express them visually.

Jillian will guide participants to map out your personal vision board with ideas that reflect what matters most to you. You’ll have the chance to reflect, plan, and create, with plenty of room for conversation, inspiration, and personal expression. No artistic experience is needed! Just curiosity and an openness to envisioning your future.
