Creative Joy Date: Paint Your Pivot Year
Join us as we take inspiration from The Pivot Year by Brianna Wiest and lean into the energy of the Fire Horse year—a time that represents change, clarity, and bold action.
We’ll begin with introductions and an icebreaker, then move into a lightly guided creative activity where you’ll paint a wooden photo holder.
We’ll then share a favorite quote from The Pivot Year. You’ll be invited to choose from a selection of powerful quotes from its pages. We’ll take turns sharing our quotes, along with any personal reflections or inspiration that comes up, and reflect together as a group. If you’ve read the book, you’re welcome to bring a quote that resonates with you. Enjoy a glass of prosecco or a non-alcoholic beverage and something sweet during this time.
We’ll then select a quote to write on a card to display in your wooden photo holder.
We’ll close with a few simple reflection prompts designed to help you process your experience and take something meaningful with you.
Here’s what to expect:
Introductions & Ice Breaker
Writing Prompts & Creative Games
Acrylic Painting (wood photo holders)
Reflection Circle
Here’s what to expect:
A painted wooden photo holder with your chosen quote or personal reflection
A deeper sense of clarity around what your current “pivot” is asking of you
A slowed-down, grounded moment of creative expression and reflection
A reminder that you are not alone in your becoming
