The Guided Vision Planning Workbook
Through our work to decolonize bookshelves and minds, we've embarked on a journey of personal growth, of powerful learning and unlearning, transformative healing, and a profound return to self and inner source. This guided workbook lays plain our path toward meaningful pursuits through (re)flection, (re)leasing, and (re)aligning. Complete with prompts, recipes, space for curiosity and vision crafting- this project of passion, this labor of love is available on Amazon.
