NOVASEN Vision Board Meeting

0–5 min | Arrival & Framing Purpose: Set tone + intention Welcome + why this matters now Name the shift from personal to collective Share the output: “By the end, we’ll have a shared 2026 snapshot we can build from.” Prompt to ground ALL: “Take a breath and imagine it’s December 2026 and this community worked.” 5–10 min | Imaginative Warm-Up Purpose: Get people out of their heads Try one: Eyes closed visualization: “You’re arriving at a gathering in 2026… what do you notice first?” Word burst: In chat or aloud: What’s one word you hope defines us in 2026? Capture words and visual live (whiteboard, online platform, paper). 10–20 min | Small Group Visioning Purpose: Depth + connection Break into pairs or trios - Online, too Give 3 prompts only: How is this community different in 2026? What are we known for? What do members say they gained by being here? Ask these to: Capture phrases, not essays Capture visuals Circle what feels alive / forward moving 20–35 min | Collective NOVASEN Purpose: Build the shared vision (e.g., words/themes/visuals) as NOVASEN leadership reinforced Bring everyone back and ask: “What themes kept repeating?” “What visuals kept repeating?” “What surprised you?” “What feels non-negotiable?” Co-facilitators and ALL: Group similar ideas Group similar visuals Name emerging pillars Reflect energy back: “I’m hearing X, X, and X—does that resonate?” "We're ALL hearing..." "I'm seeing..." "We're ALL seeing..." 35–50 min | Group Vision Board Creation Purpose: Make it tangible + visual Depending on format: In-person: One large board; participants add images/words Virtual: Shared Online Platform (Dicidim/Miro/Canva/Slides) Structure the board and online platform into 4 zones: Who We Are (Identity) How We Show Up (Behaviors) What We Create (Impact) How It Feels to Belong Let it be messy. Mess = buy-in. 50–60 min | Anchoring + Closing Purpose: Lock meaning + momentum Ask closing question (popcorn style): “What’s one word you’re leaving with?” Then anchor: Name what we’ll do with the Vision When it will be revisited How members can live into it now Close by asking members to name one action we will take this year
