Word of the Year and Floral Wreath Painting Workshop

Start by choosing your Word of the Year—a powerful intention to guide your journey in 2025. This word serves as a focal point for your aspirations, encapsulating what you hope to achieve and embody throughout the year. It could be a word that resonates deeply with your personal growth, such as "courage," "balance," "joy," or "transformation." The process of selecting this word is not merely an exercise in creativity; it is a profound opportunity for self-reflection and intention-setting. As you contemplate your Word of the Year, consider the areas of your life where you desire change or enhancement, and let this word serve as a beacon, illuminating your path forward.

Once you have chosen your word, you will learn to write it in beautiful calligraphy, inspired by Art of Marina’s signature style. Calligraphy is not just about the art of beautiful writing; it is a meditative practice that allows you to connect with your intention on a deeper level. As you carefully form each letter, you will find yourself reflecting on the meaning of your chosen word and how it relates to your goals for the upcoming year. The graceful curves and strokes of the calligraphy will bring a sense of elegance and personal touch to your piece, making it a unique representation of your aspirations.

After mastering the art of calligraphy, you will then create a stunning floral wreath around your word. This wreath is not just a decorative element; it symbolizes growth, beauty, and the flourishing of your intentions. Using a variety of flowers, greens, and perhaps even some personal mementos, you will design a wreath that complements your word and reflects your personality. Each bloom can represent different aspects of your journey—some may symbolize resilience, while others may embody joy or hope. The act of crafting this wreath becomes a creative outlet, allowing you to express your vision for the year ahead in a tangible form.

This piece, combining your Word of the Year with the artistry of floral design, becomes your daily reminder of your goals and milestones. It will serve as a visual anchor in your space, encouraging you to stay inspired and accountable as you work toward the change you want to see. Each time you glance at your wreath, you will be reminded of the commitment you made to yourself and the journey you are embarking on. This ritual of reflection and creativity not only enhances your environment but also reinforces your dedication to personal growth and transformation. Embrace this opportunity to infuse your life with intention, beauty, and purpose as you move through the year ahead.

This is part one of a two-part series designed to explore this topic in depth. While it is not mandatory for participants to attend both sessions, engaging in both parts can significantly enhance your understanding and appreciation of the subject matter. Each session is structured to stand alone, allowing you the flexibility to join only the first or the second part based on your interests and availability. However, if you decide to participate in both, you will find that the discussions and insights from the first session will seamlessly connect with and complement the themes and concepts introduced in the second session. This interconnected approach aims to provide a comprehensive experience, fostering deeper insights and encouraging meaningful dialogue among participants. We hope you find value in whichever part you choose to attend!
