(n.) to be reborn

The vision was never the problem.

You know what you want. You’ve known for a while. renasca turns it into something you do something about today.

A renasca vision board, filled with photographs of the life someone is working towards.

How it works

Four steps, and the fourth one is other people.

01

Put the life you want on a board

Your own photographs, the ones you already save.

02

It becomes a plan

Milestones you arrive at, and a rhythm you keep between them.

03

One thing to do today

Chosen for how you’re actually arriving, not for what a calendar says.

04

A few people who know

Up to seven. They see what you choose to show them, and nothing else.

Inside

No streaks to break. No catching up to do.

The board

The life you want, somewhere you actually look at it.

Today

One small thing. Not now costs nothing.

The renasca circle screen on a phone.

Your circle

Private by default. Shared only when you say so.

In person

And the rooms where it happens.

Vision board evenings in London and New York, starting in January. More will follow, shaped by what people are actually working toward.

My sisters and I make vision boards every January, and we check in on them through the year. The boards were never the problem. The milestones ended up in a notes app that got harder to keep up with until nobody did.

Then came the lowest I’ve been. I didn’t get a promotion I was ready for. My relationship ended badly. I was a long way from my family, and I couldn’t tell whether what I needed was a new job, a new city or a new country. What I remember most is the feeling that I wasn’t finishing anything.

So I finished one thing. Surfing, which had sat on my board for years without me going. It was the first thing in months I’d started and seen through. After it, I did another thing off the board, and another, and the women I’m still close to came from doing them.

I still didn’t know how any of it would work. But I knew what was next, and the fire was back.

renasca is on this year’s board. That’s why I’ve been building it at night, between London and New York.
