Mini Vision Board Workshop 

What is a vision board and why create one?

A  vision board is quite literally a collage or a collection of pictures or words that represents your goals, your dreams and your visions.   These boards come in all sizes from pocket size to full poster board size and are a one of a kind creation because they are unique to the person making them. People of all ages from about pre-teen and up can participate.  No matter our age, we all have goals and dreams and we’re never  too old to have a new dream. 

WHY create a vision board?
One reason, simply put, is that it’s fun!  You get to use scissors and glue and markers and glitter and just create. There’s no right or wrong. Creating a board helps you bring clarity to your dreams, desires, and goals. As we go through the steps of creating the board, you will become clearer on what you want to work on in your life or what you want to have more of in your life.  

And once you’ve made one, you can use it as a reminder of those goals. It can encourage you to take action.   There’s something very different about visual reminders versus a written statement of your goal. So join us on Oct. 14 for this fun, yet meaningful time together and leave with a special creation that affirms you and your dreams and desires.


Journaling for a Day Workshop 

What’s the big deal about journaling? How can something so simple make a difference in my life? How do I get started? Join Rebecca Lile for this  engaging, experiential workshop and find the answers to these questions and more.

Journaling is an incredible tool for personal development. Writing words on a page that no one will read can help you gain clarity, boost confidence, lower stress, experience groundedness, and create a means for self expression. You may start the day as a journal skeptic, but you’ll end the day a believer!

Topics covered:

  • Journaling Basics
  • Why document your days
  • Journaling with Prompts
  • Chronicle your Dreams
  • Morning Pages
  • Journaling to solve problems
  • Gratitude Journaling
  • And more!

Rebecca Lile is the founder of Stretch and Soar Life Coaching in the mountains of Western North Carolina. She received her M.A. in counseling from the University of Kentucky, received the Lilly Scholarship at Candler School of Theology/Emory where she studied and was later consecrated as a diaconal minister, and her professional life coach certification from the Christian Coach Institute of Charlotte, NC. Rebecca works with women of all ages and stages who are struggling with dissatisfaction, transitions or changes in their lives and are wanting more out of life: more passion, more direction, more purpose, more abundance.  Her personal experience as a woman who has navigated many of the stages of womanhood, coupled with my professional training as a counselor, minister, and coach allows her to encourage and inspire women to stretch and soar into a life they love. Rebecca lives in the Smoky Mountains with her husband and two dogs and enjoys hiking, dog training, reading, and traveling. She recently published her first children’s book.


In 2021, her “From Fear to Freedom” workshops at Wolf Park sold out and received high reviews:

“I loved every part! The wolves were incredible and the workshop itself was more informative than my 10 years in therapy.”

“I enjoyed everything. Truly. From the initial outreach to the content, the facilitator, the staff, and the participants. Bravo! I’m a big fan.”

“The whole weekend was exceptional. I would like to be able to have opportunities like this 2-3x a year.”
