What's Your Word? MyIntent Intention Setting Make and Take

Tue, Aug 22, 2023 10:45am to 2pm

BGSU Firelands, Falcon Square, North Building

The new academic year is a great time to set an intention for the semester! What is a goal of yours? What brings you joy? Is there something you want to let go of? Through this brief guided experience, engage in some introspective, self-exploration and leave with a custom make and take bracelet to keep you accountable for your intention for the semester and beyond. Find your "WORD" by focusing on something that represents what you want or a feeling that you’re seeking. Maybe you want more adventure in your life but ADVENTURE doesn’t resonate or you want more LOVE but you’re looking for a different way to articulate that feeling.
