Vision Boarding is all about a boundless burst of creativity while also setting intentions! Maybe you feel like things have been chaotic in your life, and you could use some centring? Maybe you're unsure of what you'd like to focus on for the next few months, and could use some guidance? Maybe you really just want to cut something... we feel you. Through this workshop you will hear about the wonderfully cathartic practice of vision boarding and collaging, why we feel compelled to set intentions and goals, the process of creating a board, and, of course, an opportunity give it a try yourself!
Bad Artists Club is excited to partner with Bad Climbers Club while we dream of what kind of adventures we want to envision for our (near) future!
There is no experience needed for this workshop and we provide all materials (but feel free to bring your own)! If you have a personal journal, please bring it to jot down some thoughts :) We'll bring some journals just in case you forget yours!
Can I climb at the Hive before and/or after the workshop?
Yes! Admission to climb is free for Hive members, and half off for Hive non-members the night of the workshop! You don't have to buy admission to the gym to participate in this workshop.
Do I need to have a Hive membership to come?
Nope!
What kind of materials will you provide?
Everything you might need! We have a HUGE selection of climbing and outdoor magazines thanks to the Hive's generous donation, and all the tools you need to cut it up :)

Refund Policy: Tickets are transferable, but unfortunately not refundable at The Bad Academy. We're a crazy small organization and operate on razor-thin margins, and as much as we'd like to account for life getting in the way, we have been burned too many times by no-shows, and last-minute refund requests etc. If you'd like to transfer your ticket to a friend, please email us at hello@thebadacademy.com with the name and email of the person taking your place, and we'll make sure to make the appropriate changes!
