Vision Board Workshop

It Works!

“In just a few years, everything on my vision board came true—except for one thing.”

A vision board is a powerful, creative tool—a collage of images, quotes, and affirmations—designed to visually represent your goals, dreams, and desired feelings, helping to manifest them by keeping your aspirations top-of-mind. By placing it in a prominent, daily-view spot like your bedroom, home office, or digital desktop, you maintain focus and motivation to actively pursue your life’s vision.

You will create and go home with your own personal vision board.

What to expect

• A guided, hands-on workshop where you’ll design a visual roadmap for your goals, dreams, and intentions.

• Supplies provided: poster board, magazines, scissors, glue, markers, etc.

• Short guided exercises to clarify values and set intentions before you begin arranging images and words.

• One-on-one assistance from our facilitator to help with layout, color choices, and meaningful wording.

Who it’s for

• Anyone who wants a creative, tangible way to focus on personal or professional goals.

• Beginners and experienced vision-board creators — no artistic skill required.

• Perfect for people seeking motivation, clarity, or a fresh start.

What to bring

• Optional: a few personal photos or small mementos (flat or easily attached).

• A list of goals or keywords you’re thinking about (career, relationships, health, travel, hobbies, finances, mindset).

• Open mind and willingness to play.

Workshop length

• 90 minutes to 2 hours: brief intro and exercises, main creation time, finishing touches, and wrap-up.

Takeaway

• A completed, ready-to-display vision board to take home.

• A short written affirmation or intention to revisit regularly.

• Practical tips for using your vision board daily to stay motivated and aligned.

Reserve your spot

• Limited space to keep the experience personal and hands-on.

Dungeons & Dragons drop in campaign

Join DJ every other Sunday for this epic high fantasy D&D campaign.

Old stones up in the mountains hold the stories; a king becoming sick with greed; with wanting of more and more wealth, and a dwarven civilization of gold and diamond. To have such plentiful gold that it was as valuable as timber or stone in its day. Gold was a building material while currency was polished wood mined from tree roots. Something long ago forced the dwarves to abandon Al’Khaz, the city of gold. Its location, all its wealth, and all of its technology, all lost to time. Some say it was stolen away by the sea, some claim it was lifted into the sky to live among the clouds, others theorize that it left for a different plane entirely.As the humble and fabled people of Aegravalon struggles to defend Tregaidaran from the forces of Dourlaran and their terrible plans of land development, our heroes are faced with evidence that maybe Al’Khaz could be found. And if it can be found, maybe there is hope to win this war after all.---

Film Screening - Seeds of Sovereignty

The Pax Natura Foundation presents Seeds of Sovereignty, a film by Stuart J. Tanner.

After a successful international festival run with over 70 official selections, 24 awards, and screenings in more than 30 countries, the film is coming to Fairfield for two special community screenings at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center.

Screenings will take place on Saturday, June 6 at 7:00 PM and Sunday, June 7 at 2:30 PM. Both screenings will be followed by a Q&A and community discussion.

Mexico stands at a crossroads, fighting to protect its native seeds, lands, and people from the encroachment of genetically modified crops and toxic agrochemicals. Seeds of Sovereignty was born from urgency, a response to a battle that is both deeply local and undeniably global. More than a film about agriculture, it is about identity, resistance, and the right to shape our future. Through legal victories, grassroots movements, and striking visuals, the documentary asks what happens when profit is placed above human and environmental health. The goal of the film is not only to inform, but to immerse audiences in this struggle and inspire action. The fight to protect native maize in Mexico reflects a broader global question about food sovereignty, biodiversity, and the future of farming itself.

More than a film, Seeds of Sovereignty is an invitation to reflect on our relationship to food, land, culture, and the future we are collectively creating.

Free showing. Donations accepted.

A playful practice that elevates your vibrational energy, aligns you with the flow of creativity, and awakens new pathways of perception and connection. Through spontaneous scenes, group games, and joyful collaboration, you’ll shift out of routine patterns and resonate with laughter and presence, harmonize with others to experience the magic of collective energy, and amplify your inner creativity, so your authentic self can truly shine. Perfect for beginners and seasoned performers alike, this workshop will leave you energized, inspired, and more connected to yourself and everyone around you. Facilitated by Solomon Davis.

Vision Board Workshop

It Works!

“In just a few years, everything on my vision board came true—except for one thing.”

A vision board is a powerful, creative tool—a collage of images, quotes, and affirmations—designed to visually represent your goals, dreams, and desired feelings, helping to manifest them by keeping your aspirations top-of-mind. By placing it in a prominent, daily-view spot like your bedroom, home office, or digital desktop, you maintain focus and motivation to actively pursue your life’s vision.

You will create and go home with your own personal vision board.

What to expect

• A guided, hands-on workshop where you’ll design a visual roadmap for your goals, dreams, and intentions.

• Supplies provided: poster board, magazines, scissors, glue, markers, etc.

• Short guided exercises to clarify values and set intentions before you begin arranging images and words.

• One-on-one assistance from our facilitator to help with layout, color choices, and meaningful wording.

Who it’s for

• Anyone who wants a creative, tangible way to focus on personal or professional goals.

• Beginners and experienced vision-board creators — no artistic skill required.

• Perfect for people seeking motivation, clarity, or a fresh start.

What to bring

• Optional: a few personal photos or small mementos (flat or easily attached).

• A list of goals or keywords you’re thinking about (career, relationships, health, travel, hobbies, finances, mindset).

• Open mind and willingness to play.

Workshop length

• 90 minutes to 2 hours: brief intro and exercises, main creation time, finishing touches, and wrap-up.

Takeaway

• A completed, ready-to-display vision board to take home.

• A short written affirmation or intention to revisit regularly.

• Practical tips for using your vision board daily to stay motivated and aligned.

Reserve your spot

• Limited space to keep the experience personal and hands-on.

Vision Board Workshop

It Works!

“In just a few years, everything on my vision board came true—except for one thing.”

A vision board is a powerful, creative tool—a collage of images, quotes, and affirmations—designed to visually represent your goals, dreams, and desired feelings, helping to manifest them by keeping your aspirations top-of-mind. By placing it in a prominent, daily-view spot like your bedroom, home office, or digital desktop, you maintain focus and motivation to actively pursue your life’s vision.

You will create and go home with your own personal vision board.

What to expect

• A guided, hands-on workshop where you’ll design a visual roadmap for your goals, dreams, and intentions.

• Supplies provided: poster board, magazines, scissors, glue, markers, etc.

• Short guided exercises to clarify values and set intentions before you begin arranging images and words.

• One-on-one assistance from our facilitator to help with layout, color choices, and meaningful wording.

Who it’s for

• Anyone who wants a creative, tangible way to focus on personal or professional goals.

• Beginners and experienced vision-board creators — no artistic skill required.

• Perfect for people seeking motivation, clarity, or a fresh start.

What to bring

• Optional: a few personal photos or small mementos (flat or easily attached).

• A list of goals or keywords you’re thinking about (career, relationships, health, travel, hobbies, finances, mindset).

• Open mind and willingness to play.

Workshop length

• 90 minutes to 2 hours: brief intro and exercises, main creation time, finishing touches, and wrap-up.

Takeaway

• A completed, ready-to-display vision board to take home.

• A short written affirmation or intention to revisit regularly.

• Practical tips for using your vision board daily to stay motivated and aligned.

Reserve your spot

• Limited space to keep the experience personal and hands-on.

Our Market at a Glance

First organized in 1975, we have become SE Iowa’s most well known farmer’s market. Customers are always pleased, and vendors can’t wait to bring their goods to such a vibrant community of buyers.

The market is intended to provide an opportunity for individuals to sell approved items, which are produced or manufactured by them in their garden, farm or home. Vendors may sell only those products that are approved items and that are grown or made by them.

We are organized as a 501c3 non-profit and manged by a Market Advisory Board. We have expanded to accept vendors from all surounded counties, plus three more counties.

Friendly  Local Merchants

All of our vendors are friendly and helpful.

Feel free to talk with them when you visit our market.
