Inspired Vision Retreat

What is calling you?
What do you desire for this next year?

It’s January 1st, and you’re full of ideas about
things you want to do differently this year.

You may make an ambitious list of goals and New Year’s resolutions.

But in the back of your mind, you also know that
you’ll forget all about them by next week, or next month.

You’re not alone.

Let’s toss out the New Year’s resolutions
and set an intention for 2019.

A single word is powerful.

They can set us back, slow us down, and even stop us dead in our tracks.
Or, they can inspire us to forge ahead, make healthy choices, and
focus on the positive.

As you consider the year ahead, what needs your attention right now?

What word will you select to inspire and guide you?

Let’s discover this together.

“A retreat is a time to step back and take a new look at our lives. It is not so much a time to learn new things as to remember and feel again some of the things we have forgotten. It is a time to be lovingly attentive to the needs of the soul.”

~ Macrina Wiederkehr, “The Song of the Seed”

5 Lessons to Discover Your Word & Vision for 2019

Each lesson begins with a video introduction and includes gorgeous worksheets and fun downloads.

While there are many “find your word-for-the-year” resources or vision board classes on the web, these tend to approach the process using the mind with an exhaustive list of questions where you think your way to goal setting. This course, offers you a selection of playful activities that incorporate inspiring words, thoughtful prompts, and gorgeous visuals where the approach taps into your body, mind, emotions, and spirit for guidance. The variety of projects in this course gives you options that you can pick and choose from to discover your word and vision for the year.

Lesson 1: Retreat Moments
You’ll receive a retreat planner that you’ll use to design your own nourishing personal retreats.

Lesson 2: Word Audition
It’s hard to pick just one word and you don’t have to, just yet. This fun activity gets you collecting words and considering what you truly desire. If you arrive with a word already selected, great! This activity will guide you in looking at different facets of your word and “companion words” that will support your vision. Let the audition begin!

Lesson 3: Scavenger Hunt
Do you notice signs and patterns in your life? This activity opens you up to recognizing the signs around you and awakens you to those magical moments of synchronicity.

Lesson 4: Your Body’s Wisdom
Are you listening to your body’s messages? Let’s get out of our heads and into our bodies. This activity will help you to recognize where to place your focus for 2019.

Lesson 5: Dream Wheel Collages
Think vision board only in a circle. The circular shape transforms the vision board collage into a work of art with a sense of balance and centeredness. Kathryn shares her process for creating beautiful collages. In the featured video, watch Kathryn piece together her collage and learn how the elements of design bring random images together to build a beautiful vision that’s also a work of art you’ll love to hang up in your home or office.

Message from the Course Creator

Kathryn Costa

Hi I’m Kathryn Costa,

I look forward to returning to these activities each year as I define “what’s next” in my life. From year to year, I can see how they have guided me in pursuing my dreams and living a creative and soulful life.

I’m so delighted to bring something new, fun, and empowering to this year’s annual Inspired Vision Retreat. Throughout 2018, I offered a monthly “vision journal” workshop. Participants loved receiving the beautiful envelopes with the surprises tucked inside them. They also found the Soul Journey guided meditations , oracle card readings, and animal guides to be powerful and insightful. In addition to the five activities that I’ve offered in the past, this year’s Inspired Vision Retreat includes the commemorative envelope, Soul Journey, oracle card, and animal guide.

The “Word Audition,” “Scavenger Hunt,” and “Dream Wheel” activities have been part of my new years activities. They really help me to tap into my intuition and develop a vision for the upcoming year. It’s also fun to look back over the years to see the intentions that I set and what happened.

In 2015, my word COMMIT urged me to stay the course with my book idea. It was a challenging year working full time, nurturing my online community, and doing what it takes to pull off a book within a few months of writing a book proposal. Commit I did and today, I’m the proud author of “The Mandala Guidebook.”

Jumping ahead to 2017, my word BELIEVE was a beacon and source of inspiration when mustering up the courage to leave the day job to COMMIT (my words carry over from year to year) to my dream full time. Here I am a year later working for myself. There’s no looking back!

2018 was the year of FLOW. I explored so many aspects of this word from tapping into my creative flow to trusting the ebb and flow of life and how I’m divinely supported. It was a year that I explored the flow of energy and worked with the chakras to begin a new healing journey of the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. And, one consistent outcome is how I’ve been overFLOWing with joy throughout the year.

What word will be your beacon for 2019? Let’s discover it together.

    • Hi Stephen, The course is delivered via videos that you can access any time that is convenient for you. The webinar at the end of week one will be set a time that will accommodate the greatest number of participants. On the first day, I ask participants to send to me their time zone. In this last year our webinars were typically at 3:00 pm, EST which worked for those in all US timezones and for many in Europe. Depending on the number of registrations, I may open up a second time slot for those in the Southern Hemisphere. The webinar will be recorded. Thanks for your question. Let me know if you have any others. ~ Kathryn
