Vision Board Getaway Recap
We kicked off 2021 with the Wanderlette’s Vision Board Getaway - a magical and empowering weekend of reflection, intention setting and creativity. Ten women joined us in a luxurious, modern villa in Shanghai Pudong full of cozy nooks, balconies, comfy beds, and a rooftop patio. By Monday, our sisters had successfully channeled powerful energy and intentions to each create their personal 2021 Vision Board that will guide them in manifesting their clear goals over the next year.
We started off our adventure by gathering in Jing’an at the delicious, female-owned Pierogi Ladies to line our stomachs with fuel before our van ride to the Pudong villa.
Upon arrival, everyone settled into their rooms and discovered their specially curated goodie bags curated to extend their getaway into their home when they returned. The goodie bag included:
The Wanderlette Vision Board workbook
A bay leaf manifestation kit
A lavender and rosemary cleansing bundle
Custom blended Wanderlette tea
A Laneige lip mask
Once everyone felt settled, we gathered in circle to ground ourselves in meditation and sisterhood—taking time to reflect on the year 2020 and opening our hearts to the possibilities that lay ahead for us in 2021. Circle offers us the opportunity to learn from other women’s stories and practice active listening, ensuring each participant feels seen and heard as they share their accounts.
With our minds and hearts more open, we shifted into the Vision Board workshop, where we discussed the value of a vision board and discussed how to create a vision board that works. We then got to work cutting up magazines, sharing laughs, and listening to music while we crafted our 2021 boards.

After a long and exciting day, we wrapped with a delicious dinner from Curry Gaeng, featuring Krysten’s Small Batch Sambal, followed by celebrating two Wanderlette sister birthdays with specialty curated vegan desserts. We are so honored when our sisters want to celebrate their birthdays with us!
Those who wanted to put their finishing touches on their boards stayed up a little longer, while others rested in their rooms preparing for the next day of activities.

After a great night’s rest, we started our morning with an early AM stretch session (with no pictures because sometimes no tech is the ultimate gift) followed by coffee and tea. We then gathered for a beautiful breakfast spread, featuring bagels and peanut butter created and sponsored by Chalk & Flour, and spent the morning chatting with excitement about what the future holds.
To wrap our time together, we gathered in circle again to share our Vision Boards and discussed the process of creating them. We shared revelations, realizations, and glorious moments of self-discovery. We reflected on the work we did on ourselves that weekend and focused on our interconnectedness and how we will evolve together as a collective.
After a grateful and joyous closing, we bid farewell with lots of hugs. While the weekend may have ended, our sisters have continued to share and celebrate with one another in a private text group for Vision Board Getaway attendees. We're excited to see how their vision boards will help each sister to evolve and flourish this year!
We are so thankful to our photographer, Una Z, who captured magnetic photos of our time together.
Thank you to our Wanderlette sisters who joined us for such a beautiful weekend, and thank you so much to our sponsors and partners who helped create the ultimate new year experience for our Wanderlettes.
