VISION CLASS SYLLABUS

Welcome to Vision Class!!! Vision Class is an intensive web-based


course, headed by fellow life-student Shira J., designed to show its
students how to find their life's great purpose through actualizing
smaller dreams.

Below you will find a list of class materials, assignments, and a full
syllabus. Keep in mind, your schedule may be busy, therefore, take the
time to format this class to your personal needs. However you choose
to format this course is up to you, but it is important to ADHERE TO
YOUR PLAN.

If nothing else, try to participate by watching the prerecorded lectures


on YouTube. You may also tune in to our midterm and final discussions
at the six-week and 12-week marks on Ustream. And, if you have a
Facebook or Google+ account, you may comment as frequently or
infrequently as you like. You get out what you put into class, so be
encouraged, take plenty of notes, tune into lectures/discussions, and
comment, comment, comment!

*NOTE: Vision Class dates are not available as yet, because class will
be prerecorded and edited. Class debuts on
[Link]/VisionClass, every Friday at 7:30pm EST, and will
continue airing at the same time each week, for a total of 13 weeks.
Students may participate at their own pace (e.g., at a pace of six or 12
months instead of 12 weeks), but those who keep with the pace of
class will experience the quickest transformation. Students are
encouraged to comment on their journey no matter the pace at which
they take class. Stay tuned to Vision Class' Facebook, Google +, and
YouTube pages for the class premiere date.

Community feedback and interaction are vital components of the Vision Class, facilitated predominantly through social media platforms. Students are encouraged to post thoughts, insights, and progress updates on Facebook and Google+, creating a peer-supported environment that fosters dialogue and shared experiences . Real-time discussions are further supported by live sessions on Ustream, where students can engage in conversations and deepen their understanding through collective learning . This feedback loop aids in reflection, motivation, and accountability, making the communal aspect an integral part of the educational experience .

The Vision Class promotes the transformation of students' life visions into reality through a structured series of activities and reflective tasks. It employs a sequenced learning journey starting with visualization techniques and advancing to affirmations, intention solidification, and gratitude practices. Weekly lectures are paired with specific readings and assignments that build on each other, such as maintaining 'Morning Pages' for daily reflection and developing the 'En-vision Board' for strategic planning of visual goals . Moreover, the systematic approach of activating visions through tiers like 'Reading for Knowledge' and 'Gratitude for Abundance' is designed to progressively strengthen and realize students' intentions . This comprehensive framework is aimed at not only visualizing but also practically organizing life goals, thereby actualizing them .

The Vision Class syllabus employs a variety of educational materials to guide students toward discovering their life's purpose. Firstly, it incorporates books like 'The Artist's Way' by Julia Cameron for foundational concepts on creativity, 'Creative Visualization' by Shakti Gawain to enhance visualization skills, and 'The Four Agreements' by Don Miguel Ruiz to cultivate personal agreements and beliefs. Additionally, the course materials include 'The Legacy Book,' 'The Intention Book,' and 'The Vision Book' for students to journal their thoughts, set goals, and track their progress . This combination of structured readings, personal reflection, and visualization practices encourages students to actively engage with the material and apply it to their individual journeys, aiming to realize their potential and find purpose .

The Vision Class curriculum is crafted to encourage self-driven learning and personal adaptability by providing a flexible framework that students can tailor to their individual needs. Students are urged to adhere to a pace that suits their personal schedules, whether it be over six or 12 months, enhancing adaptability . The course includes assignments like 'Morning Pages' and 'Artist's Date' that require personal initiative, as they are activities that students have to independently integrate into their daily routines . By allowing students to choose which assignments speak to them from texts like 'The Artist's Way' and 'Creative Visualization,' the curriculum fosters agency and individual direction in learning, empowering students to create their unique paths toward achieving course outcomes .

Digital tools and platforms play a crucial role in the Vision Class to enhance student learning and interaction. The course is delivered via prerecorded lectures on YouTube, allowing students to learn at their own pace and engage with content asynchronously . Additionally, platforms like Facebook and Google+ are used for students to post comments, share insights, and interact with peers, facilitating a collaborative learning environment. Ustream is used for live discussions, enabling real-time interaction and discussion of course content . These digital platforms make it possible for students to access the course globally and maintain continuous interaction with both instructors and fellow students, fostering a sense of community and support .

The Vision Class encourages the integration of personal and collective visions through structured interaction and shared community experiences. Students are prompted to engage with one another via platforms like Facebook and Google+, where they post comments, insights, and progress reports, fostering a sense of community involvement . The course's purpose statement emphasizes the intertwining of individual life's purposes with others', indicating that personal development contributes to a broader human purpose . Additionally, collective activities such as discussions and the communal practice of sharing 'Vision Board' outcomes reinforce this integration, highlighting how personal growth can align with and support larger community aspirations .

The Vision Class incorporates sensory experiences as a key component of its teaching strategy, primarily through practices like the 'Artist's Date' and usage of the 'En-vision Board.' The 'Artist's Date' involves solo excursions that stimulate the senses and inspire creativity, fostering a direct engagement with artistic and environmental inputs . The 'En-vision Board' allows students to visually manifest their dreams and goals, using tactile methods like cutting and arranging images . These exercises immerse students in sensory practice, intending to expand their creative horizons and deepen their connection to personal visions. The expected outcome is an enriched understanding of self-awareness and purpose, catalyzed by experiential learning .

The video lecture format significantly enhances the accessibility and inclusiveness of the Vision Class, extending participation opportunities across various demographics and locations. Prerecorded lectures on YouTube provide flexibility for students who can self-pace their learning, making the class more inclusive for individuals with varying time commitments . The asynchronous nature of video content means students can review materials as needed, accommodating different learning speeds and styles. By utilizing online platforms, the class removes geographical barriers and opens up access to a global audience, promoting educational equity . This format thus ensures that vision-based education is accessible to a diverse population, fostering an inclusive learning environment .

For students with busy schedules, the Vision Class offers flexibility in structure to accommodate different pacing needs. The curriculum is designed for students to participate at their own pace, whether it be in six or 12 months instead of the outlined 12 weeks . Students are encouraged to format the course according to their personal needs, which implies creating a personalized schedule that might involve watching lectures or completing assignments during flexible weekends or evenings . Participation is encouraged even with infrequent interaction, and the system emphasizes that students gain as much as they invest into the class, promoting continuous yet adaptable engagement .

'Morning Pages' and 'Artist's Date' are key activities in the Vision Class curriculum designed to foster creativity and self-reflection. 'Morning Pages' involve writing three pages of longhand, stream-of-consciousness writing done first thing in the morning. This exercise helps clear the mind, overcome inner blocks, and unlock creative potential . The 'Artist's Date' is a weekly solo expedition to nurture the creative consciousness, engaging directly with sensory and creative experiences. These activities contribute to the overall learning process by encouraging students to explore their thoughts, emotions, and ideas more deeply, connecting them to their life's purpose and facilitating personal growth .
