​An evening of grounding, creativity & live jazz

​Close out the year with reflection and intention. We will be hosting a vision boarding and intention setting workshop to support you in welcoming in 2026.

​Join us for a transformative evening dedicated to closing out the year with clarity, creativity, and community. We’ll begin by gently grounding ourselves through guided intention-setting and journaling, then shift into a vibrant, hands-on vision boarding session—all flowing seamlessly into a night of LIVE jazz as the vibes carry us into the weekend. 🎶✨

​Let me set the scene: you walk into the warm, ambient space after a long week in NYC. You grab a drink or a little snack from the bar, make your way to the cozy patio, and land in a seat that already feels meant for you. Candles flicker, magazines and materials are spread out, and you’re welcomed by your host, Emily.

​We’ll start the night by slowing down. With mindfulness-based prompts, you’ll write, reflect, and get grounded in who you are right now—and who you’re becoming. Once intentions are set and you feel connected to yourself, we’ll shift into creative play through vision boarding. You’ll create a board that reflects your dreams, desires, goals, and the energy you want to welcome in.

​As the evening opens up, LIVE jazz will begin to play, giving you space to continue vision boarding, make new friends, journal, sip a drink, or simply be. This night is designed to support both inner reflection and joyful creativity.

​All are welcome.
Whether you’re manifesting the year ahead, craving inspiration, or simply want to reconnect with yourself, this evening is for you.
