Word Up! Find Your Guiding Word of the Year for 2026

Word Up! Find Your Guiding Word of the Year for 2026

Price range: $20.26 through $475.00

 

It’s the most wonderful time of the year—our annual Word Up! Week.

 

You’re invited to join us for our online Word Up! workshop—a 90-minute live online session designed to lead you through a simple three-step process for choosing a guiding word that captures the goals and intentions you’ve set for 2026. (With four different dates/times available to choose from throughout Word Up! Week, it’s easier than ever to find one that fits with your schedule.)

 

Let’s tap into what’s possible for you and write your narrative for the year to come!

 

And if you want to set your guiding word in indelible ink, consider one of these add-ons to enhance your Word Up! experience:

 

One-on-One Coaching Package (Cost: $399 – includes online Word Up! workshop): Want to make sure you don’t set it and forget it? Pour into your “Word of the Year” intention all year long with dedicated one-on-one coaching from Creative Groove founder and certified coach Jen Jones Donatelli (PCC, CPCC)! This package includes three one-hour coaching sessions to be conducted on Zoom during 2026; the suggested cadence is early 2026, mid-year, and end of year, but the sessions can be redeemed at any time that works for you before January 2027. Payment plans are available if you wish to select this option but need to pay in installments—just email us and we can set that up for you.

 

In-Person Afternoon Retreat ($97 for retreat only; $110 for online workshop + retreat): If you’re in or near Cleveland, Ohio (or willing to get there), you can also be part of a special afternoon retreat designed to bring your Word of the Year to life! Create a one-of-a-kind art piece that will set your vision for 2026, and get an aura portrait taken as you step into the energy of a new year. (Scroll down for full details on this offering; it is also possible to attend this event ala carte if you will not be participating in the Word Up! online workshops.)

 

All-In Package (Cost: $475): Treat yourself in 2026! This all-in package includes the Word Up! online workshop, one-on-one coaching package, and in-person afternoon retreat. Payment plans are available if you wish to select this option but need to pay in installments—just email us and we can set that up for you.

 

Please note: if you select one of the add-ons in the below drop-down, we will contact you to find out which date you would like to attend the Word Up! online workshop. If you select the Word Up! online workshop only, you can pick your date at the time of purchase.

Scenes from the 2025 retreat

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: find your Word of the Year at our Word Up! online workshop, then bring your guiding word for 2026 to life at our in-person afternoon retreat in Cleveland!

 

Join us at the Pivot Center for the Arts in Tremont on Saturday, January 24, from 1-5 p.m. ET to start 2026 off on a colorful note — and leave you feeling energized and inspired for the year to come.

 

We’ll start the day with some light journaling and reflection to explore the true meaning of your chosen word of the year, and then we’ll capture that energy by creating a bespoke art piece incorporating vision boarding, hand-lettering and so much more! (All supplies will be provided, though attendees will be responsible for framing their pieces if they wish to do so.) Calligrapher Tara Tonsetic (of Modern Meets Vintage) will be in the house to help with hand-lettering if you wish. The resulting artwork will provide a beautiful and lasting visual representation of your word of the year that will keep it alive all year long!

 

Next, we’ll score some serious aura points as we explore the energy we’re bringing in 2026! The AuraCLE will be in the house to provide individual aura photography sessions for each attendee! Learn about the colors of your aura and what they mean, and leave with a vibrant photo that radiates all the colors of you. We’ll close the day with a sharing circle and closing reflection.

 

Here’s what’s included in your $97 investment:

  • Supplies and instruction for making your Word of the Year art piece, plus professional hand-lettering services provided by Modern Meets Vintage
  • An aura photography session and portrait from The AuraCLE
  • Delicious snacks and beverages
  • And if you sign up before January 5, you get our separate Word Up! online workshop (held the week before the retreat) for free!

 

Secure your spot today to set the tone for an amazing 2026!

 

This retreat can be purchased in tandem with the separate online Word Up! workshop or ala carte for those who already know their word of the year. If you plan to attend both the Word Up! online workshop and the retreat, we will contact you to find out which date you would like to attend the online workshop.
